Overweight kids have higher risk of Heart diseases

The children who are obese have higher risk of getting heart trouble as they grow up. The study conducted by David Ludwig published in New England Journal of Medicine said that one of the health hazards to kids who are obese is that they run the risk of getting heart diseases as they grow up.

The investigations on 288,000 children in a Danish city who went to school were carried out and the height and weight of the children was noted from 1930 to 1976.

The study found that the children who weighed more had the risk of getting heart attacks and even risk of fatal heart attacks, when they turned adults. The risk was more for heaviest children in the age group.
