Abstract

We evaluated whether the obesity-associated years of life lost (YLL) have decreased over calendar time. We implemented a meta-analysis including only studies with two or more serial body mass index (BMI) assessments at different calendar years. For each BMI category (normal weight: BMI 18.5 to 60, YLL for grade 1 obesity decreased by 1.02 years (P60, YLL for grade 1 obesity decreased by 3.98 years (P
