REEDLEY, CA - OCTOBER 19: Seventeen year-old Marissa Hamilton watches a friend eat during a meal at Wellspring Academy October 19, 2009 in Reedley, California. Struggling with her weight, seventeen year-old Marissa Hamilton enrolled at the Wellspring Academy, a special school that helps teens and college level students lose weight along with academic courses. When Marissa first started her semester at Wellspring she weighed in at 340 pounds and has since dropped over 40 pounds of weight in the first two months of the program. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 16 percent of children in the US ages 6-19 years are overweight or obese, three times the amount since 1980.

Novo istraživanje provedeno na milijun očeva i njihovih sinova pokazalo je da pretilost povećava opasnost od smrti uzrokovane kardiovaskularnim oboljenjima za čak 82 posto.

Studija, koju je vodio tim stručnjaka s Instituta Karolinska u Švedskoj, objavljena u časopisu British Medical Journal, nastojala je ispraviti pogreške ranijih sličnih ispitivanja, a u njoj je praćena i korelacija indeksa tjelesne mase djece s rizikom oboljenja, odnosno smrti kod roditelja.

Jedan od nedostataka prijašnjih istraživanja, naime, bio je taj da su se ljudi oboljeli od karcinoma registrirali kao mršavi iako su zapravo smršavjeli zbog bolesti. Tako su rezultati pokazivali da je smrtnost kod mršavih ljudi veća nego što je stvarno bila.

Novim istraživanjem utvrđeno je da je pretilost dodatan rizik kod oboljelih od raka pluća. Rezultati su također pokazali da je smrtnost uzrokovana kardiovaskularnim bolestima kod pretilih ljudi znatno veća nego što se ranije mislilo.
