Early Findings

Mortality and Obesity
One study found that persons who were obesed, underweight, or overweight were at high risk of death after becoming 30 years of age.
The study found that women with high BMI were 22% more likely to die.
Another study found that higher BMI increases the likelihood of mortality, "site-specific cancers in men" and "11 site-specific cancers in women."
In a study known as the 'Million Women Study,' it was found that a high BMI is linked to a greater risk on death from cancers.
