Over weight obesity linked with premature death
Journal of the American Medical Association
A study found that obesity appears to lessen life expectancy, especially among young adults. The researchers compared Body-Mass Index (BMI) to longevity and found a correlation between premature death and higher BMIs. For example, a 20-year-old white male, 5’10” weighing 288 pounds with a BMI of greater than 40 was estimated to lose 13 years of his life as a result of obesity. While this study referenced extreme levels of obesity, there are still millions of overweight Americans with a life expectancy rate that is three to five years less than their healthy-weight counterparts.
Summary

Obesity weight loss is crucial to improve lifestyle of people.
And obesity health declines with higher risk of diabetes and life.
Obesity over weight needs to be addressed by improving nutrition of people and lowering calorie intake.
