70% of women in a "healthy" weight range and 80% of women above a "healthy" weight range become unhealthy at which time their risk for cardiovascular disease increases.
It's like everyone benefits from healthy eating and moderate exercise, then you get in poorer health then die...men too.

I’ve read the story and am still not clear on whether it is about Canada solely. Also, what does the study mean by women “will get” unhealthy? That seems very open ended. Does that include people who become unhealthy at the time of death? Or does that mean they’ll become unhealthy during an earlier stage of their lives?
ReplyDeleteThe Lancet site says the study was funded by the U.S. Insitutes on Health and the German government, so maybe it’s beyond any nation.
ReplyDeleteIt indicates that in a 20 year time frame health deteriorates whether you start at a healthy weight or not.
ReplyDeleteMHO is complete nonsense. Metabolically Healthy Obesity is another made up term by the medical community to make people feel good about being overweight.
ReplyDeleteTalking about metabolic health is important because there are a lot of people who look like they're a healthy weight yet have seemingly inexplicable illnesses because doctors don't recognize anything other than "you're not fat". If your weight is not stopping you from doing things you enjoy it's not something you should worry about more than along the idea of making healthy food choices.
ReplyDeleteWilhelm Tell The writer of this story agrees with what you said. He said he does not recognize the term Metabolically Healthy Obesity. It does sound to me like "Pollution is in the Good Range," or "Minor Heart Attack."
