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

this problem has been worsening and we
have now reached the point where gun violence is the leading cause of death among kids and teens – the leading cause of death. , Dr. Vivek Murthy, to CNN's John Berman.
That is something that we should
never take as the new normal.

Historically, we have seen how the
release of Surgeon General reports on
public health issues such as the dangers
of smoking ignited a wave of policy,
legal, and public health initiatives.., Dr. Joseph V. Sakran, Brady board chair
and chief medical officer, via CNN.
... that saved countless American
lives and in this case led to
deprogramming our nation from
the tobacco industry’s lies. , Dr. Joseph V. Sakran, Brady board chair
and chief medical officer, via CNN.
We hope this report will have
the same resounding impact on
the gun violence epidemic, Dr. Joseph V. Sakran, Brady board chair
and chief medical officer, via CNN.
In 2022, over 48,000 people in America died from gun-related injuries, according to CDC data.
In the new advisory, Dr. Murthy said, "It is up to
us to take on this generational challenge with
the urgency and clarity the moment demands.".
The safety and well-being
of our children and future generations are at stake, Dr. Vivek Murthy, via advisory

Yemeni forces conducted three pro-Palestinian operations, including a joint effort with Iraqi fighters. They targeted ships in the Red Sea and Mediterranean using drones, missiles, and boats. These actions enforce a ban on vessels heading to Israeli-occupied territories and respond to recent Israeli airstrikes in Gaza. The operations demonstrate Yemen's sophisticated military capabilities and international cooperation.
