Abstract

Obesity is a major risk factor for metabolic and cardiovascular disease in adults. The Framingham Heart Study was established to follow the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) over a long period of time and to identify major risk factors for premature death. 1 The study was one of the first to show that obesity is a major risk factor for CVD in adults.
