URL: | | Excerpt / Summary Excess bodyweight was positively associated with risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The effect of excess weight on years of life lost was greatest for young individuals and decreased with increasing age. The years of life lost for obese men ranged from 0·8 years (95% CI 0·2–1·4) in those aged 60–79 years to 5·9 years (4·4–7·4) in those aged 20–39 years, and years lost for very obese men ranged from 0·9 (0–1·8) years in those aged 60–79 years to 8·4 (7·0–9·8) years in those aged 20–39 years, but losses were smaller and sometimes negligible for men who were only overweight. Similar results were noted for women (eg, 6·1 years [4·6–7·6] lost for very obese women aged 20–39 years; 0·9 years [0·1–1·7] lost for very obese women aged 60–79 years). Healthy life-years lost were two to four times higher than total years of life lost for all age groups and bodyweight categories. |
