Obesity and Death: What Can We Learn from Weight Histories?

My findings thus suggest that weight histories are an essential piece of the puzzle for understanding obesity's effects, just as former smoking status is important in the study of the effects of smoking on mortality. Failure to take weight histories into account has likely caused widespread bias in the literature, with the effect of obscuring obesity's true toll. http://www.medpagetoday.com/PrimaryCare/Obesity/53385?xid=nl_mpt_DHE_2015-09-04&eun=g721819d0r
