Compared with lean women, obese women had a 79% lower odds of healthy survival pass the age of 70. Healthy survival essentially means being free of the most common 11 chronic diseases and being able to carry out daily activities normally. The more weight that women gained from the age of 18 until mid-life, the less likely was healthy survival after the age of 70.
