US EditionStudy: Weight Loss in Middle Age Might Add Years to Your Life
- On Tuesday, a study appeared in JAMA Network Open examining health outcomes related to weight changes, using information from approximately 23,000 middle-aged White European participants.
- The study was observational and primarily involved information gathered before the widespread use of weight loss drugs or surgical procedures, so the observed body changes were mostly due to modifications in diet and physical activity.
- Researchers grouped participants by initial BMI and weight change, finding those who lost around 6.5% of body weight without surgery had lower risks of chronic diseases and mortality over 35 years.
- Dr. Timo Strandberg noted that the benefits mainly stemmed from diet and exercise changes, while Dr. Aayush Visaria emphasized the study’s importance for linking weight loss to cardiovascular disease and mortality.
- Although the results might not generalize beyond White Europeans, the study suggests improving access to healthy foods and physical activity could help reduce obesity-related health impacts.
