Obesity in African-American Women Boosts Risk of Death


Sept. 7, 2011 -- Overweight and obesity in African-American women increases their risk of death, especially from heart disease, according to a new study.

"We have now found in African-American women what has been found in other populations -- that the risk of death goes up incrementally with increasing BMI [body mass index] over 25," says researcher Julie R. Palmer, ScD, professor of epidemiology at Boston University.

BMI is a measure of body fat. A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is termed healthy.

The new finding refutes previous data that suggests that the risk of weight-related death in African-Americans is increased only at very high BMI levels, such as 35 and up. A BMI of 30 or higher is obese.

Palmer's study found the risk became significant at 27.5. For example, that is the BMI of a woman 5 feet 4 inches tall who weighs 160 pounds.

A big waist, over 35 inches, also boosts risk, she says. ''Regardless of BMI, having a large waist size, which is an indicator of carrying around excess abdominal fat, is related to having an increased risk of death."

The study is published in The New England Journal of Medicine. The results are based on follow-up of women who were part of the ongoing Black Women's Health Study.

The study results, Palmer says, suggest that ''this is just one more reason to maintain a healthy adult weight."  To have a BMI of 24.9, a woman who is 5 feet 4 inches tall, for example, would have to weigh 145 pounds.
