[A comparison of 10 overweight adolescents with normal weight matched controls].
Ten obese young people as well as ten matched controls with normal body weight have been interviewed in respect to development of body weight, eating habits, influence of the family, position of the subject in his (her) surroundings and his (her) self-assessment. It has been shown that obese subjects are eating more and more frequently than subjects with normal body weight. No other differences have been detected between the two groups. An important influence of the family on eating habits and consequently on body weight was a common feature in all the subjects.
