Washington: A new study suggests that major weight loss in human health may reverse most of the cardiovascular risks associated with obesity. The cross-sectional study of the US adult population was presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), which is being held online this year from September 27 to October 1.

The new findings show that the risk of high blood pressure and unhealthy levels of cholesterol or other fats in the blood were similar in Americans who used to have obesity, but were now a healthy weight,  and those who had always maintained a healthy weight.

The Study also find that although the risk of current type 2 diabetes lessened with weight loss, it remained elevated in people who formerly had obesity compared to those who had never had obesity. Notably, More than 40 per cent of adult Americans have overweight and close to one in 10 is classed as having severe obesity. Bodyweight is directly associated with almost all cardiovascular risk factors.

As Body Mass Index increases, so do the blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or bad) cholesterol, other abnormal blood fats, blood sugar, and inflammation. These changes increase the risk for heart disease, stroke, and death from cardiovascular disease. However, little is known about whether the effects of obesity persist in those who subsequently achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
