Weight Gain Early in Life Led to CVD

Gaining weight at an early age could be a risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease later in life, according to a study. "From the results we’ve concluded that the longer an individual is overweight, the worse it is. So, we need to prevent individuals from becoming overweight and obese in the first place. The key message really is that prevention is better than cure." Ghosh AK. Abstract #1102-16. Presented at: American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions; March 9-11, 2013; San Francisco
