  • A study has found that extreme weight fluctuations in obese people with cardiovascular disease significantly increases the risk of death. The Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) research analysed data from 8,297 UK participants recruited as part of the UK Biobank study.

The article from MSN discusses a study published in the journal "JAMA Network Open" which found that significant fluctuations in body weight, known as weight cycling, can increase the risk of death. The research, conducted by a team from the University of California, San Diego, analyzed data from over 4,000 participants over a period of 20 years. It revealed that individuals who experienced large weight swings had a higher mortality rate compared to those with stable weights. The study suggests that these weight changes could be linked to various health issues like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. The findings highlight the potential health risks associated with yo-yo dieting and stress the importance of maintaining a stable weight through balanced diet and regular exercise rather than extreme weight loss methods.
