Our study, titled “Weight trajectories and obesity onset between 17 and 60 years of age, and cause-specific mortality: the Obesity and Disease Development Sweden (ODDS) pooled cohort study”, has been published in eClinicalMedicine.
The findings suggest that weight gain across adulthood, particularly at younger ages, and early obesity onset are associated with higher mortality from many non-communicable diseases. Weight gain at younger ages is generally associated with higher risk than weight gain later in life, except for cancer mortality in women, where weight gain at any age appears to be associated with broadly similar risk.
