Losing 6.5% of body weight in middle age can significantly reduce chronic disease risks, study finds.
A new study in JAMA Network Open finds that losing about 6.5% of body weight in middle age without medication or surgery can significantly reduce the risk of chronic diseases and death later in life.
Analyzing data from around 23,000 people, the research showed that weight loss in midlife was linked to a lower risk of heart attacks, strokes, cancer, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in later years.
The findings, however, were primarily based on White Europeans, limiting generalizability to other populations.
