MDC 7,808 Posted May 1, 2007 LESBIANS are twice as likely as heterosexual women to be overweight or obese, which puts them at greater risk for obesity-related health problems and death, US researchers said. The report, published in the American Journal of Public Health, is one of the first large studies to look at obesity among lesbians. Ulrike Boehmer of the Boston University School of Public Health and colleagues looked at a 2002 national survey of almost 6000 women, and found that lesbians were 2.69 times more likely to be overweight and 2.47 times more likely to be obese. “Lesbians have more than twice the odds of (being) overweight,” the authors wrote. This would put them at a higher risk for diabetes and heart disease, among other ailments. “Our findings indicate that lesbian sexual identity is linked to a greater prevalence of overweight and obesity,” the authors wrote in the study, released this week. They reviewed smaller studies that have suggested a higher prevalence of obesity among lesbians and the possible reasons why. “The results of these studies indicate that lesbian women have a better body image than do heterosexual women,” they wrote. But the authors said they placed little confidence in the idea that lesbians were more muscular than straight women, and thus were more likely to have a high body mass index, or BMI, while having little body fat. High muscle mass is “unlikely to lead to classification as obese,” the researchers said. “We reported greater odds of both overweight and obesity in lesbians and we feel confident in asserting that these differences are a result of increased adiposity,” the researchers wrote.

edjr 6,866 Posted May 1, 2007 I see a lot of fat f@gs too. I think they became gay because they weren't have any luck with women, the same reason fat women became lesbos, no luck with men. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDC 7,808 Posted May 1, 2007 I see a lot of fat f@gs too. I'm going to have to disagree. I think f@gs are for the most part in much better physical shape and take care of their appearance better than straight guys. Gay guys are also ridiculously shallow and picky about the way other guys look, and on the whole they are much more promiscuous than straights ... because they're guys and let's face it, if women were half as horny as men straight guys would be getting laid left and right. Also, based on the lesbians I know they are far less attractive than straight women on the whole. HTH. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 7,808 Posted May 1, 2007 Ellen Degeneres isn't fat, you are wrong too. I didn't say anything about the fatness of lesbians other than posting this story. I don't know if it's been studied, but gay guys on the whole are in much better shape than straights. Maybe that's because going to the gym is part of gay culture or they're just much pickier about appearance than straight guys, but it's a stereotype that I've seen reinforced over and over again. You know what they call chubby, hairy gay guys? Bears. They are the ones who look like straight dudes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,172 Posted May 1, 2007 I kinda agree with edjr on this one. People think that gay guys are fit because the fit gays are more flamboyant. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. The fat gays don't try to draw so much attention to themselves. There are more fatty gays then you think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
