Lesbian women are at greater risk of being overweight than heterosexual women, research suggests. A study of more than 90,000 British adults also that found gay men are less likely to be overweight than straight men. They found women identifying as lesbian were 41 per cent more likely to be overweight or obese than straight women, and bisexual women had a 24 per cent increased risk. Gay men, meanwhile, were 28 per cent less likely to be overweight or obese than straight men. The researchers, however, also found gay men were three times as likely as straight men to be clinically underweight, and bisexual men twice as likely.
