High Adolescent BMI Linked, With Chronic Kidney Disease, Study Warns.

'Newsweek' reports that scientists have found a link between teenagers with a high body mass index (BMI) and developing chronic kidney disease in young adulthood.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), chronic kidney disease (CKD) impacts over 1 in 7 adults in the United States.

.

The condition occurs when kidneys are damaged and cannot effectively filter toxins and waste from blood.

When excess fluid and waste build up in the body, it can result in a number of health problems, including heart disease and stroke.

According to the National Survey of Children's Health, approximately one in six U.S. children between the ages of 10 and 17 are considered obese with a BMI over 30.

.

Recently, a team of scientists from the Gertner Institute for Epidemiology and Health Policy Research in Israel investigated the link between BMI and early CKD.

'Newsweek' reports that the team's results demonstrate a clear association between developing early CKD and a high adolescent BMI.

The results suggest that men are more vulnerable to these risks than women, perhaps due to differences in fat distribution and effects of the hormone estrogen.

According to the team, the findings highlight the importance of taking action to mitigate adolescent obesity in the U.S.
