Margaret Allman-Farinelli, nutrition researcher at the University of Sydney, says new studies show that weight control programs aimed at young adults only have an effect in about half of all cases. Australians between the ages of 25 and 34 on average put on 6.7 kilograms over that period, as their activity levels drop and they start cooking their own meals. Meanwhile, new modelling conducted in Canada suggests that those overweight with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 to 30 face a reduction in life expectancy of three years, and those obese with a BMI between 30 and 35 one of up to eight years
