Looks like we're running through the same playbook we saw with COVID, and the obesity comorbidities.
Being obese in your 30s-50s increases your chance of developing dementia or Parkinson's later in life by somewhere between 500 and 800 percent.
Losing the weight is such an OBVIOUS intervention for things like diabetes and CVD risk, but it affects risk factors for nearly every other chronic disease on the list, including something like half of all cancers.
And yet, we're researching the type of micro-optimizations indicated in this article.
Don't be fat from 30 to 60. That's it. That's the solution. And yet, all I see is:
Medically: Masking the symptoms with medication, with not even a cursory nod to improving lifestyle factors.
Societally: Wild adoration of Lizzo and "Health At Any Size" ridiculousness.
