Obese Children Suffer From Nervous Disorders More Often Than Average

Obese Children Suffer From Nervous Disorders More Often Than Average.
Obese children have high levels of a skeleton key stress hormone, according to a new study. Researchers calculated levels of cortisol - considered an indicator of stress - in tresses samples from 20 obese and 20 normal-weight children, aged 8 to 12. Each catalogue included 15 girls and five boys. The body produces cortisol when a individual experiences stress, and frequent stress can cause cortisol and other stress hormones to accumulate in the blood.
