The more weight you carry around your midriff, new research suggests, the more likely you are to die prematurely.
The “dad bod” has long been lauded as the new paragon of prowess. But the more weight you carry around your midriff, the more likely you are to die prematurely, new research suggests.
“Secondary prevention works through reducing risk factors associated with heart attack and stroke such as high blood sugar, lipids and blood pressure,” Mohammadi added. “It was previously unknown whether abdominal obesity is a risk factor for recurrent events among patients on secondary prevention treatments.”
A person’s cardiovascular disease risk is 50% by age 45, but jumps to 80% by age 65, that study said. Black Americans are projected to have the highest cardiovascular disease rates by 2035, trailed by Hispanic Americans. “On average, an employee with cardiovascular disease costs his or her employer nearly 60 hours and over $1,100 more in lost productivity per year than an employee without cardiovascular disease,” the report added.
Being overweight or obese is associated with a higher risk of dying prematurely than being at a healthier weight — and the risk increases with additional pounds, according to an international study released in 2016, also by researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the University of Cambridge in the U.K. Researchers in 2013 launched the Global BMI Mortality Collaboration, which included more than 500 investigators from over 300 global institutions.

Area Dad Sure Knows A Lot About Local Weather WomanROCKFORD, IL—Casually rattling off details about her personal life and professional history, household sources confirmed Tuesday that area dad Shawn Garcia seems to know quite a bit about local television meteorologist Susanne Lepucki. “He keeps going on about how she wore that same red blouse last week, and I swear one time I heard him use her middle name,” said Garcia’s 16-year-old son, Malcolm, clarifying that his father usually changes the channel after Lepucki finishes her weather report on Rockford CBS affiliate WIFR. “He doesn’t really know any of the other anchors, but he definitely knows Susanne. He’s followed her from the 5 o’clock spot to the 6 o’clock. Apparently, she almost changed networks over a contract dispute last year, but it’s been resolved now.” At press time, the elder Garcia asked his son if he had considered applying to Northern Illinois University, noting that Susanne Lepucki earned her master of science degree over there and they evidently have some pretty good programs.
