I was recently reading a book that mentioned some data published by the Framingham heart study which shows that the risk of becoming obese rose by 60% if your friend was obese, 40% with an obese brother or sister and 37% for someone who鈥檚 husband or wife is obese, even if they lived in different cities.
All of this applied even if said relative or friend or lover was not living with you and lived in a different city 馃樁
Thought this was an interested metric i would share as it shocked me and it was the first time i took a note whilst reading this particular book 馃摉
