An article in JAMA reported average weight gain of 0.6 pounds every ten days of shelter-in-place orders from February 1st to June 1st, 2020.
A Harris poll reported 42% of adults gained an average of 29 pounds in the past year. Forty-eight percent of millennials reported undesired weight gain averaging 41 pounds. Forty-one percent of Generation Xers reported undesired weight gain averaging 21 pounds.
The JAMA article was based on data from Bluetooth connected scales. The Harris poll was based on self-reported data.
Sometimes it is good to be below average. And I am never buying a Bluetooth connected scale.
