RELIGION has been linked to obesity in a recent analysis of social data by Australian researchers.

They found Christians had a higher body mass index - or were fatter - than non-Christians.

Dr Michael Kortt, of the Southern Cross University on the Gold Coast, and Professor Brian Dollery, of the University of New England, found the connection when analysing data from the federally-funded Household Income Labour Dynamics (HILDA) survey.

Good news for the Lions:D
 
Epidemiological study, so it's all about averages of poplulations, not individuals. Interesting idea, though, getting religious organisations involved in promoting healthy behaviour.
 
I heard that the obesity epidemic has been linked to the reduction of the penguin population in the south atlantic. 🙄
