Obesity and Your Lifespan

January 12, 2016 by Dan Leave a Comment

Obesity and Your Lifespan

People suffering from obesity have a variety of symptoms. However, the most pressing effect of the illness is its limiting of one’s life. Obesity restricts people from performing everyday tasks in some cases and withholds them from physical activity. Beyond that, its largest limitation is the shortening of a person’s lifespan.

According to a 2014 article from the National Institutes of Health, obesity can shorten the life expectancy of a person by up to fourteen years. It explains that there are increased risks of dying younger than the average person from heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, and kidney and liver diseases in adults with extreme obesity. The excessive health risks cause a drastic reduction in the life expectancy of people with obesity compared to those of normal weight.

Obesity and Your Lifespan are Connected

Obesity may also create a loss of approximately nineteen years of healthy life due to its correlating diseases, says Kristina Fiore of Med Page Today. The dramatic frequency of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other diseases seen in obese adults causes their quality of life to plummet. The illness can take over their lives leading to years of living with potentially curable medical problems.

This is why, at New You Sleeve, we brought together a team of experts because we know how difficult it is to lose weight permanently and how often diet and exercise fail. The few weeks of recovery spent after a weight loss procedure can result in decades of health and a longer, improved life.-Jamie Clarke
