“A recent study found that the age at which a person develops type 2 diabetes influences their risk of developing dementia, with obesity more than tripling risk, especially at younger ages. Researchers tracked more than 1,200 adults aged 50 and older who had diabetes but no dementia at the start of the study.”

“FTA: > Obesity in black men substantially increases the risk of low- and high-grade prostate cancer, while obesity in white men moderately reduces the risk of low-grade cancer and only slightly increases the risk of high-grade cancer, according to the first large, prospective study to examine how race and obesity jointly affect prostate cancer risk.”

“Myocardial infarction (MI), commonly referred to as heart attack, occurs when one of the heart's coronary arteries is blocked suddenly or has poor blood flow. One of the principal risk factors for MI in men and women is abdominal obesity.”
