Next generation ‘will be obese and infertile’

THE next generation will be the most infertile and the most obese in the history of mankind, British medical leaders warned yesterday.

A report on adolescent health by the British Medical Association said increased drinking, smoking and drug-taking among teenagers was creating a "public health time bomb."

Their sexual health was also suffering, with as many as one in 10 women aged 16 to 19 infected with chlamydia a sexually-transmitted disease which can make sufferers infertile.
