Overweight youths at greater risk for heart failure

Losing weight as an adult is fine if you want to reduce your risk of heart attack. But you don’t necessarily reduce the risk of other heart problems if you only start focusing on proper weight and fitness later in life. High BMI when you’re young increases the risk of heart failure, say researchers, even if you’re dieting away the pounds as you get older. Research indicates that yo-yo dieting is the worst.
