Lancet Sub-Journal: Data of 2 million people suggest that 18-24 years old have the highest risk of weight from normal to overweight or even obesity!

Globally, progress in adult obesity prevention policies is limited, and the high incidence of obesity is expected to increase substantially in the next ten years
.

The current obesity prevention policy is based on cross-sectional census evidence and emphasizes the cross-sectional prevalence of obesity among middle-aged people (ie 40-59 years old), people living in poor areas of society, and specific ethnic groups Increase

Prevention The current obesity prevention policy is based on cross-sectional census evidence and emphasizes the cross-sectional prevalence of obesity among middle-aged people (ie 40-59 years old), people living in poor areas of society, and specific ethnic groups The rate increases

In this longitudinal, population-based cohort study, the researchers used electronic health record data from 400 primary care institutions in England (through the clinical practice research data link), which were obtained through the CALIBER program
.

Eligible participants were 18-74 years old, registered in a general practice clinic, and recorded BMI and weight measurements from January 1, 1998 to June 30, 2016

As a result, a total of 2092260 qualified personal data were included, and their BMI measurements exceeded 9 million times
.

During the 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year follow-up, the age of young adults was the strongest risk factor for weight gain

Compared with the oldest age group (65-74 years old), adults in the youngest age group (18-24 years old) have the highest risk of transitioning from normal weight to overweight or obesity within 10 years, which has more than tripled (OR=4.

Age-standardized risk of transition to overweight during follow-up
.

Other demographic factors have not been closely related to these transitions; for example, people living in the poorest and poorest areas of society have only a 23% increase in the risk of transitioning from normal weight to overweight or obesity, and men have a higher risk than women.
12% higher, blacks have a 13% higher risk than whites
.

In summary, the study provides an open online risk calculator to predict the risk of obesity during the 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year follow-up period

In order to prevent obesity and its long-term effects on health and wellness at the individual and demographic levels, policies need to be radically changed to focus on individuals who are at the highest risk of weight gain (ie, young adults aged 18-24)
