Three Men in a Boat, Jerome K Jerome’s 19th travelogue, has a hilarious introduction about this very disorder.
Speaking of the relative health of doctors, again without stats to back this up, I was always struck by the near total lack of obesity in my med training. In the midst of an obesity epidemic, I can think of only one larger colleague out of my hundred+ fellow med students.

Of late, retired and with more time, I've subscribed to the concept that over-processed foods have contributed to the obesity epidemic. That said, sedentary lifestyles and work patterns haven't helped. But, I suspect genetics also plays a role. To borrow a line from somewhere else, "It's complicated"...

Take a look at this. Probably answers the question.

Excellent! Thank you. I must have missed that one.
