A new study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology suggests that teen moms were more likely to become obese when they grew up.
The study was conducted by researchers at University of Michigan Health System who used data from The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, focusing on factors such as race, education and socio-economic indicators.
The researchers found that women who gave birth between 13 and 19 years of age had a 32 percent greater risk of being obese as they grew older, compared to women who gave birth after they turned 20.
