What are the certain thresholds? Can we be more specific than lowered all-cause mortality, such as specific diseases we know have causal relationships with obesity specifically? I'm asking because I'm not that educated, but if you know there are studies showing e.g. purely losing weight with no lifestyle changes means less heart attacks, less joint replacements, less cancer, etc. please share.
- stonogo 4y agoCaveat: it's generally not possible to "lose weight with no lifestyle changes." Even taking anti-obesity drugs results in lifestyle changes along with the weight loss. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12457296/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12457296/ https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/74/5/579/4737391 https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/74/5/579/4737391 https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/fulltext/S1550-4131(16)30053-5 https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/fulltext/S1550-4131(16)... https://www.bmj.com/content/359/bmj.j4849 https://www.bmj.com/content/359/bmj.j4849 https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1004094 https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/jo...
