Heavy children may have more headaches

Kudos, fatsos.

"Overweight children and teenagers may be at elevated risk of developing chronic headaches, a new study suggests.

The good news, researchers found, is that weight loss may, in turn, cut headache frequency.

The study, which included 913 children and teens with headache complaints, found that as the children's body mass index increased, so too did the frequency of their headaches...

Of the whole study group, 17.5 percent were overweight or obese, while another 33 percent were at risk of becoming so. In general, the researchers found, the frequency of the children's headache bouts increased in tandem with their BMI.

In the subgroup of children who were followed for up to 6 months, however, those who managed to shed some weight tended have a decline in the number of headache episodes. Hershey and his colleagues reported the findings online in the medical journal Headache."

Too bad that fat child-abusing parents cannot help their fat nutritionally abused kids control their fat body weight.

Another reason to stop nutritional child abuse.
