Early Weight Loss Can Reduce Risk of Getting
Diabetes
2
Obesity is a major risk factor for diabetes,
which is why weight loss programs are a major
component of the treatments and services provided
by health care centers in major cities in New
York.
Type 2 diabetes is one of the leading causes of
disability and death worldwide. Diabetes is
associated with conditions like high blood
pressure, diabetic neuropathy, stroke, blurred
vision, kidney failure, cholesterol and premature
death.

Researchers at St Georges University of London
analyzed the body mass index (BMI) of 5000 men
when they were young and compared it to their BMI
at middle age 30 years later to see whether
it affected their potential risk of heart attack,
stroke or diabetes.

• The study found that
• Men who had higher BMI levels at the age of 21
  witnessed lower BMI by the time they reached age
  50 and had similar or reduced rates of diabetes
  as people who were normal weight when younger.
• The potential effects of high BMI early in life
  may be reversible by subsequent weight loss.
• When compared to more recent men, those who were
  relatively thin in early adult life had higher
  levels of fatness and appeared to be directly
  associated with later diabetes.

According to the 2014 National Diabetes
Statistics Report, about 29.1 million adults in
the U.S. were diabetic. As obesity is a major
risk factor for the condition, enrolling in a
weight loss program in a reliable multispecialty
health care center in New York can help.

Wrong dietary habits and lack of physical
exercise are the two main reasons for rising
obesity among adults. Adopting positive lifestyle
changes that give equal importance to regular
physical activity and a healthy diet would help
prevent obesity, diabetes and associated health
risks.
