Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic stress and obesity in adolescents: Scientific evidence and methodological issues for epidemiological research
TL;DR: Basic evidence is provided for the positive association between chronic stress and obesity, but the need for more research in adolescents is pointed out to further elucidate the role of chronic stress in the aetiology of obesity in this crucial life period.
Journal ArticleDOI
