Socialising is fattening, worrying-thinning

If you are sociable, you might put on some extra mass. And the anxious are likelier to be thin, found scientists from Japan. Examining the link between personality and body mass, Masako Kakizaki of Tohoku University, said: “Outgoing people had more chances of having a BMI of over 25.” Extrovert men had 1.73 times more chances of obesity. Extrovert women were 1.53 times more likely to be obese, anxious people, have a BMI less than 18.5.
