People who are extremely obese should lose weight quickly! Life expectancy may be reduced by up to 8 years

Being fat is not a blessing! It may also shorten your life! According to research conducted by foreign scientists using the "disease stimulation" model, extremely obese people may lose up to 8 years of life, moderately obese people may lose up to 6 years of life, and generally obese people may lose up to 3 years of life. Severe obesity can shorten a person's lifespan by up to eight years. Because they are more likely to suffer from heart disease and diabetes, these diseases will also rob obese people of 19 years of healthy life.

Studies have found that extremely obese people may lose up to eight years of life, moderately obese people may lose up to six years of life, and generally obese people may lose up to three years of life.

The Daily Mail reported that this study, published in the journal The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, was conducted by Canadian scientists using computer models to predict the life expectancy of obese people.

Study: Life expectancy of obese people is expected to be shortened by 0 to 3 years

The researchers used body mass index (BMI) to measure whether a person was obese. Generally, a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight, and above 30 is considered obese. A healthy person's BMI should be between 18.5 and 25. Based on data from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the study combined personal interviews with physical examinations, diagnostic procedures, and a "disease stimulation" model to assess the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease in subjects of different weights, while predicting the life expectancy of the subjects, whose ages ranged from 20 to 79 years old.

The research results show that depending on age and gender, the life expectancy of obese people is expected to be shortened by 0 to 3 years, moderately obese people by 1 to 6 years, and extremely obese people by 1 to 8 years. In addition, the extent of life expectancy reduced by obesity is greatest among young people and decreases relatively with age. Compared with people of normal weight, obese young people suffer the most negative health effects.

Studies have found that obese young people suffer the most negative health consequences.

Obese young people aged 20 to 29 have the most severe loss of healthy life expectancy

Not only that, the healthy life expectancy (referring to the number of years of survival during healthy living and being able to adapt to the external environment) of overweight and obese people is reduced by 2 to 4 times the reduction in life expectancy. Young people aged 20 to 29 suffer the most severe loss of healthy life expectancy, totaling about 19 years.

Lead researcher Professor Steven Grover of McGill University said computer analogy studies have shown that obesity increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes and stroke. On average, chronic diseases will significantly reduce the life expectancy and healthy life span of obese people compared to people of normal weight. It is worth noting that the higher the weight and the younger the age, the greater the impact on health. Because obesity has a negative impact on their lives for a longer time.
