NEJM 32-Year Study Proves WeightLossBuddy.com Concept Works; Science Confirms What Oldest Weight Loss Community Already Knew
Tenafly, NJ (PRWEB) July 29, 2007 -- A study published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine, and featured on the front page of the July 26, 2007 NY Times followed 12,067 people from 1971 to 2003 and reported the effect friends have on people's weight.
Extrapolating from the study: If one person lost weight, their friend had a 171% increased chance of losing weight. ?"One explanation was that friends affected each others' perception of fatness" said Dr. Nicholas A Christakis, a physician and professor of medical sociology at Harvard Medical School, and principal investigator of the study.
