increased by 171% if he or she had a mutual friend who had become obese (even if they lived far away).
• Their risk increased by 40% if it was their sibling or spouse who became obese.
N Engl J Med. 2007;357:370–379.

MASH IT UP!
Imagine…Scientific Journals• Content is
submitted by the community.
• Peer reviewed by the community
Imagine…Bookmarking• A patient finds a site

Imagine…• An entire medical
practice of patients and physicians linked in an electronic community, in constant communication
