ADHD-Obesity Link Weakens in Big Cities: New Research
May 27, 2025ADHD raises the risk of obesity, but its effect is dampened for people living in large cities, according to two new studies.Young adults with combined-type ADHD are more likely than their non-ADHD peers to carry excess weight around their midsection and to have an unhealthy waist-to-height ratio (known as the body mass index or BMI), according to a new cross-sectional study published in American Journal of Human Biology. 1Obesity-related health conditions, such as heart disease and Type 2 diabetes, are tied to excess abdominal fat.“The effect of ADHD on obesity intensified with age,” however, “no significant association was found with blood pressure, but trends suggested hypertension may escalate with age among ADHD individuals,” the study’s authors wrote.The biological link between ADHD and obesity, and the influence of environment on this relationship, was the focus of another new study led by researchers from the Tandon School of Engineering at New York University and the Italian National Institute of Health. 2The study, published in PLOS Complex Systems, proposed that ADHD influences obesity along two pathways:“A lot of people I work with complain about using food for stimulation,” said Nicole DeMasi Malcher, M.S., R.D., CDES, during the ADDitude webinar “Eating with ADHD: Improving Your Relationship with Food.” “They are constantly looking for food to deliver a quick fix rather than thinking about the long-term effects.”Malcher attributes this behavior, in part, to poor interoception, the ability to sense what’s happening inside the body, including cues such as thirst, hunger, and fullness.

Gene Simmons postpones dates on upcoming solo tour, fans assured it is not health related
Gene Simmons has quietly postponed 17 dates on his upcoming solo tour, with his team assuring fans the cancellation was not down to his health.The bassist and singer was set to head out on the road in the US with The Gene Simmons Band in April and May, with the tour intended to kick off at the Graton Resort & Casino in Rohnert Park, California on April 5.While preparing to hit the road again, the veteran rocker launched a handful of Experiences for fans to purchase ahead of the spring shows, with one dubbed ‘The Ultimate Gene Simmons Experience’ – which gives a fan the opportunity to help with load-in at the venue, stage set-up, and the ability to sit in on the sound check and hang out backstage.For a steep $12,495 (£9,667) in addition to the original ticket price, Simmons would also join the fan turned-roadie for a meal and introduce them during the show.However, in a recent statement given by Christina Vitaglano, who runs Simmons’ backstage VIP fan experience packages, it was revealed the April dates as well as the Texas leg of the May dates have all been postponed “until early 2026.”No reason has yet been given for cancelling more than half of the shows, but it is said not to be linked to his health in any way, per Louder Sound.While the cancelled shows are being described as postponed at present, tickets are being refunded and any of the roadie experience tickets sold for the affected shows can either be refunded or switched to any of the remaining available dates.
