A Little Overweight? You Could Live 7 or More Years Less
Studies involving 900,000 people have concluded that weighing too much can reduce your life span by a decade.
For adults who are over weight by 40 pounds or more the unhealthy weight may cut down three year of their life span.
The study also confirms that anyone who is 100 or more pounds over weight can reduce their life by more than a decade. Richard Peto, one of the leading researchers and a professor of medical statistics at Oxford University in England, also said that being extremely obsessed is similar to lifelong smoking.
Study co-author and an epidemiologist at Oxford, by Gary Whitlock say, Blood pressure & cholesterol are increased by obesity resulting in diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Its been observed that 66% of the adults are over weight or obese. To add to that one third are obese, i.e. the body mass index being more 30. BMI is nothing but a measurement based on height & weight.
As per online details today & in soon to be published edition of The Lancet.
The risk of early death increases by 30% by every 5-point increase in BMI, above a healthy weight.
People who are not obese but are over weight, with a BMI between 25 and 29.9 may have their life span reduced by a year.
Every body who in the high range of healthy weight range, with a BMI of 22.5 to 25 are the one with the lowest risk of dying early.
The lowest risk of dying early is for the people with BMI range of 22.5 to 25 as they are at the high end of the healthy weight range.
To worsen the situation of one third of the adult population being obsessed, few of them are still not stopping to gain weight, says Michael Thun. It is easy to gain more weight then to lose once you are obsessed. To stop gaining weight should be our motto.
Once you gain weight it is easier to add more weight then to lose it. So the target should be to stop gaining weight. "Continuous smoking & obesity has the same effect in terms of reduction of life". - 17273
