Anxiety In Overweight Children Compounds Risk Factors

Touchy, feely, bullsh** research.
"Anxiety may influence children's metabolic health differently according to weight status, says a study presented in Indianapolis at the 55th Annual Meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM). After examining the relationship between anxiety and the metabolic syndrome in boys, researchers presented preliminary evidence that treatment strategies geared towards overweight youth should consider the affect of anxiety on metabolic syndrome."
Oh, the poor piglets are anxious.

Maybe if they lost weight, they would have less anxiety.
"Stress is a general term used to describe the body's response to various stimuli and has been associated with poor metabolic health in adults; however, little is known about the relationship in children and adolescents. Likewise, little is known about individual contributors to stress activation, such as anxiety, in youth."
Wrong.

"Strain" is the proper "term used to describe the body's response to various stimuli."

The stimulus is called stress.

These people cannot get the basics right.

They cannot get the conclusion right.

They should not get the research dollars. Right?
