By the time today’s kids reach the age of 35, 57% of them will be obese, a new study predicts. They found that at any age, kids who are obese are more likely than their non-obese peers to be obese at age 35. They also found that older obese kids are more likely than younger obese kids to still be obese on their 35th birthday. For instance, a 2-year-old who is obese has a 75% chance of being obese at age 35, the researchers calculated. A severely obese 2-year-old faces a 79% chance of being obese at age 35, while a severely obese 19-year-old has a 94% chance of being obese at 35.
