title: Higher risk of developing diabetes from weight gain during puberty.
abstract: Teenagers' tendency to put on weight at puberty has been linked to a sudden drop in the calories burned while resting, in a new study. When girls and boys reach puberty there is a rapid drop in calories burned, which is counter-intuitive as calories burned could be expected to rise with the growth spurt.
