Overweight at any age can certainly increase a person's risk for exposed health disorders. Especially if the conditions it had been experienced by someone when he was young or alias teens. Because a study revealed that obese teens are more at risk to exposed kidney disorders during adulthood rather than adolescents who are not experiencing overweight.

Researchers successfully concluded thing it after analyzing data from a long-term study to 4,600 people in the UK who were born in March 1946. The data it also index mentions the body mass of the participants, when aged 20, 26, 36, 43, 53, 60 and 64 years.

From there, seen participants who have experienced obesity in early adulthood is 26 or 36 two times bigger chance to exposed kidney disease when it reaches the age of 60-64 years compared with participants who never obese or not turn out to be obese until the age of 60-64 years.

Not only that, participants who have waist-hip ratio or WHR high when reaching middle-aged is also associated with chronic kidney disease, when the participants were at the age of 60-64 years.

"To our knowledge, this is the the first study that report, that the age where a person obese can affect the risk of kidney disease," said Dorothea Nitsch researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.

Researchers also estimate if 36 percent of cases of chronic kidney disease that experienced by people aged 60-64 years could be prevented if every person prevent the occurrence of obesity until a minimum aged 26 or 36 years.

Even researchers can say, if the prevention efforts of this excessive weight gain, will give effect which is much larger than treatment for any chronic kidney disease.

This study has been published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
