Obesity can cuts down the life span of an obese person, a new study suggested. Moderated obesity means almost 50 to 60 pounds above then the ideal body mass index can shorten three to four years of life and the most American middle-age men having the extra 150 pounds than their ideal weight which can shorten life span by ten years.
Thought this level is not as much common as smoking as smoking is also known to reduce the life span by ten years, so both reasons are equally dangerous.
For the study, Whitlock the lead researcher analyzed the data of 894,576 people with 25 BMI. According to the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, people are considered overweight when they have a BMI over 25 and 29.9 and obese after crossing BMI 30 and more.
