THURSDAY, Sept. 30, 2021 (HealthDay News) — It’s no secret that excess weight is bad for the heart. But a new study suggests that obesepeople who lose a substantial amount of weight may reverse the related cardiovascular risks.

Diabetes risk — another common companion of obesity — improved, too. However, while the risk was lessened with weight loss, it was still high in people who had been obese, investigators said.
