I would like to request to add a study to the research section, in the paragraph about childhood obesity continuing to adulthood. "A British longitudinal study has found that obesity restricted to childhood has minimal influence on adult outcomes at age 30. The study also found that, while obesity that continues into adulthood has little influence on men's outcomes, it makes women less likely to have ever been employed or to currently have a romantic partner.<ref>Viner, RM; Cole, TJ (11 June 2005). "Adult socioeconomic, educational, social, and psychological outcomes of childhood obesity: a national birth cohort study". BMJ (Clinical research ed.). 330 (7504): 1354. PMID 15901644.</ref>" Mjnations (talk) 23:29, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

In the subtitle "long-term effects," please change life span to lifespan because "life span" is not a word but "lifespan" is a word 38.127.177.74 (talk) 19:07, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Done Pretty sure both are acceptable, see Life span, but lifespan has 28 million hits on google, life span has 17, so will change it. Cannolis (talk) 06:08, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
