About The Study: Large portions of obesity-related conditions in U.S. adolescents and young adults may be attributable to obesity and, to a lesser extent, overweight. Obesity-related conditions during youth increase the risk of more severe disease in the future, and treating and preventing obesity may reduce obesity-related conditions and associated costs.
