In the very few studies conducted,1- 4 obesity in young adults is generally associated with an increased risk of future coronary heart disease (CHD). However, data interpretation is complicated by methodological limitations, which include small study size; a paucity of studies examining the impact of confounding factors; and unexplored mechanisms, including the essentially unknown contributions of early vs later body weight on CHD risk,5- 6 which has implications for weight control interventions. In the largest and best characterized study to date, to our knowledge, we directly address these shortcoming.
