Description
Guh, Zhang, Bansback, and co-authors estimate how often overweight and obesity lead to other diseases. People carrying excess weight face higher risk of many medical conditions, which can bring further illness and early death. Planners need numbers for how often each linked condition actually begins.
The team carried out a systematic review and pooled analysis of prior studies. Their estimates cover the incidence of each co-morbidity tied to excess weight. Solid rates help governments weigh prevention spending and help doctors explain to patients which risks rise first as weight climbs.
