Huang CY, et al. - Researchers examined how weight change patterns from late adolescence to young adulthood are associated with monthly wage in young adulthood for both genders in Taiwan. From the Taiwan Educational Panel Survey (2001–2014), a nationally representative retrospective panel of 3,730 young people were divided into four weight-change-pattern categories: no obesity, obesity reversal, developing obesity, and persistent obesity. This categorization was done on the basis of changes in their body mass index at two time points that were 7 years apart, between ages 18–19 years and ages 25–26 years. Persistent obesity from late adolescence to young adulthood was associated with low monthly wage in young adulthood in women but not in men. These findings highlighted the urgency of addressing persistent obesity early in life, especially for women. Furthermore, women—but not men—had low monthly wage in young adulthood in correlation to persistent obesity from late adolescence to young adulthood. Findings thereby emphasized addressing persistent obesity early in life, particularly for women.
