Laut Daten von über 600.000 Menschen ist die Zunahme von Fettleibigkeit im Alter zwischen 17 und 29 Jahren mit einem um 70 % höheren Risiko eines vorzeitigen Todes verbunden als diejenigen, die vor dem 60. Lebensjahr nie Fettleibigkeit entwickeln

>The study is based on data from over 600,000 people, who were tracked via various registers. To be included in the study, participants needed to have had their weight assessed on at least three occasions, for example during early pregnancy, at military conscription, or as a participant of a research study. During the period studied by the researchers, 86,673 of the men and 29,076 of the women died.

>The researchers analysed how weight changed between the ages of 17 and 60 and how this was linked to the risk of death overall and from various obesity-related diseases (see fact box). On average, both men and women gained 0.4 kg per year.

>The results show that people who gained weight more rapidly over this adult life course had a higher risk of dying from various obesity-related diseases examined by the researchers. People with obesity onset between the ages of 17 and 29 had an approximately 70 per cent higher risk of premature death compared with those who did not develop obesity before age 60. Obesity onset was defined as the first time a person’s body mass index, a measure based on weight and height (kg/m²), reached 30 or higher.

>“One possible explanation for why people with early obesity onset are at greater risk is their longer period exposed to the biological effects of excess weight,” says Huyen Le, doctoral student at Lund University and first author of the study.

So essentially, people who are obese for longer have a higher chance of mortality from obesity related health conditions?
This seems like something common sense could have answered, but I guess it’s good to have a percentage.
So if I was obese before 17 I’m good, nice.
You saying people with chronic conditions for long periods of time die faster than people with chronic conditions with signifcantly less time?
Will losing the weight and being healthy fix the problems? Or is the damage already done?
What about the group between 29 and 60?
