Overview

Emphasizes early weight gain prevention in young adulthood for hypertension and CHD control; leaves open prospective validation of mechanisms.

PICO

P
Population
Obesity and Cardiovascular Disease

Early prevention of atherogenic weight gain in young adulthood is an important public health goal towards the control of hypertension and coronary heart disease.

Limitations

  • The obesity-CHD relationship is confounded by weight loss associated with smoking and smoking-related disease
  • Confounded by risk factors that accompany the development and maintenance of obesity
  • Lack of specificity in methods of weight reduction in middle-aged populations
