A study was presented at International Congress on Obesity in Stockholm and in that the researchers tracked 5,000 military conscripts starting at the age of 20 until up to the age of 80 and at the end of study it was found out that obese people were twice as likely to die as compared to those who were not obese at their age of adolescent.

While talking about the results of this study the study’s leader, Esther Zimmermann, a researcher at the Institute of Preventive Medicine said that “As the obesity epidemic is still progressing rapidly, especially among children and adolescents, it is important to find out if obesity in early adulthood has lifelong mortality effects”.

The study though provided some evidence that the obesity was the cause of early death of people but some more work is required regarding this issue. Zimmermann also stated that their team will go to work on the findings a bit more to get the accurate results.
