By Jimmy Warren

There was a study that took place involving 900,000 people that confirmed that weighing too much can reduce your life span by 10 to 15 years.

Being over weight by 40 pounds or more may reduce your life span by three years, mostly by stroke or heart disease.

"Obesity can cause diabetes, heart disease or stoke as a result of an increase in blood pressure & cholesterol", as said by Gary Whitlock, study co-author and an epidemiologist at Oxford.

The overweight & obese count has gone up to 66% in the USA. One third of the population confirmed to be obese, meaning their body mass index is 30 or more. BMI is measurement based on height & weight.

People who are not obese but are over weight, with a BMI between 25 and 29.9 may have their life span reduced by a year.

A years life span may be affected for the people who are overweight but not obese.

The vice president of epidemiological research at the American Cancer Society, Michael Thun says, This study has helped us understand the different level risk involved in being over weight.

To worsen the situation of one third of the adult population being obsessed, few of them are still not stopping to gain weight, says Michael Thun. It is easy to gain more weight then to lose once you are obsessed. To stop gaining weight should be our motto.

The situation at hand says that almost one third of the US population is obese. Plus few of them are continuing to put on more weight. It is very easy to gain weight in this obese condition as compared to losing. - 17268
