A new study brings more bad news to kids and teens suffering from childhood obesity. According to a 30-year study compiled by Israeli researchers, obese and overweight teens may be at higher risk for developing advanced kidney disease as adults.
?
The report, which was recently published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, followed 1.2 million 17-year-olds ?over a 30-year period. For their first assessment, the teens were examined before they entered into Israeli military service between January 1967 and December 1997. Over 30 years of follow-up, they found more than 700 men and 160 women developed end-stage kidney disease. ??
Overall, they estimated that being overweight or obese as a teen increased a child's risk of developing end-stage kidney disease as an adult. The risk increased sixfold for those who were overweight and 19 times for those who were obese. ?

However the researchers also noted that this risk decreased dramatically for teens who were able to lose the weight. ?
