Document: Obesity is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases [6] . Adipose tissue has been recognized as an active endocrine organ, capable of releasing many cytokines that play parts in the pathogenesis of many obesity-related diseases [17] . Social network assessment over 32 years in the Framingham Heart Study found that obesity tended to spread through intimate friends [18] . It found that an individual chances of being obese increased by 57% if she or he had a friend who also be obese. Additionally, the evidence for influence of friends on body weight comes from other studies examining the relationships between the weight of individuals and their friends [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] . These studies tested the relationship between the body mass index (BMI, kg/m 2 ) of individuals and their friends in order to address the peer effect.
