What's more, the data showed that the correlation is linear and progressive: as kids' BMI increased, their risk of adult heart disease rose alongside it. "We anticipated finding a threshold, or a cut point at which the risk dramatically increased or remained stable, so when it worked out to be such a proportional increase we were very surprised," says co-author...
