Baby Fat and Heart disease
An alarming new research announces that baby fat could be dangerous later in life. Scientists studied BMI or body mass index of hundreds of children between two or six years of age. There BMI was measured regularly during those years and it was continued to be measured once a year between 11 and 18 years of age. The same children, now young adults were monitored between 18 and 28 years of age. The clear connection between baby fat and later developed heart disease, high blood pressure and high of fat in the blood, even diabetes. Since child obesity is almost a epidemic in rich countries there is a serious concern about the health of the future adults in these countries. Scientists are now trying to educate pediatricians about the problem so the problem could be recognized by teachers and parents in order to educate people and hopefully prevent child obesity and the heart condition repeated to it.
