Poor lifestyle, lack of exercise, poor diet make young people today are more at risk of developing blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity at a relatively young age when compared to the previous generation.
Not only that, it makes the current generation die sooner and are more likely to experience premature aging. This is according to researchers due to decreased metabolic health and reduce life expectancy.
Men in their 30s is now 20 percent higher risk of developing obesity, while women in their 20s are two times more at risk of obesity, compared with older generation 10 years ago.
In addition, blood pressure problems also increased in both sexes. Men today are more likely to develop diabetes than their fathers and grandfathers, as reported by Metro.
