Overweight teenagers may face an increased risk of dying from heart
disease or stroke by the time they reach middle age, a large new study
suggests.
.
The study of more than 2 million Israelis found that those who were
overweight or obese as teenagers were two to three times more likely to
die prematurely of cardiovascular causes, compared to those who'd been
thin as teens.
.
Experts called the findings, published online April 13 in the New England
Journal of Medicine, worrisome, if not all that surprising.
.
The concern is largely related to the fact that teen obesity has become so
prevalent. In the United States, about one-fifth of 12- to 19-year-olds
are obese, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
.
"This is an important study," said Dr. Carl "Chip" Lavie, medical director
of cardiac rehabilitation and prevention at Ochsner Medical Center, in New
Orleans.
.
According to Lavie, who was not involved in the research, the findings are
concerning for a number of reasons. For one, he pointed out, many people
in the study were teenagers at a time when severe obesity was uncommon --
and when teenagers, regardless of weight, were more physically active than
they are now.
.
"The situation has now drastically changed, with kids only getting
physical activity if they participate in organized sports," Lavie said.
.
On top of that, he added, many teens spend a "substantial" amount of time
being completely sedentary -- in front of the TV or on their phones and
computers -- while eating more junk food compared with past generations.
.
"I am very concerned that overweight and obese teenagers will be in
serious trouble 30 years down the road," Lavie said. "Many will no longer
be just overweight or mildly obese, but will likely have much more severe
obesity."
.
The findings are based on records from close to 2.3 million Israeli
teenagers who underwent physical exams ahead of their mandatory military
service between 1967 and 2010.
.
By 2011, just over 36,000 had died -- at which point the oldest members of
the group had been followed for about 40 years.
