By Sally Robertson, BScMay 18, 2017
A new study from the University of Birmingham has presented evidence that could settle the debate over whether people can be obese and healthy at the same time.
The study, which is the largest of its kind, involved an analysis of electronic patient records for 3.5 million people across the UK between 1995 and 2015.
The results showed that obesity increased the risk of heart disease by half, even when blood pressure and cholesterol levels were normal, as well as significantly increasing the risk of stroke and heart failure.
