Not Watching Your Weight in Your 20’s May Prove to Be Fatal

Weight gain from young to middle adulthood was associated with increased risk of mortality.

Gaining weight from your mid-20s into middle age is associated with an increased risk of premature death, warn researchers.

According to the study published in the BMJ journal, weight loss at older ages (from middle to late adulthood) was also linked to higher risk.

“The results highlight the importance of maintaining normal weight across adulthood, especially preventing weight gain in early adulthood, for preventing premature deaths in later life.”
