An association between Body Mass Index (BMI) at age 18 years in young women (who have never smoked) and death has been reported. Women who were a little overweight at 18 were more than half as likely to die young. Obese teens were at greater risk of premature death. Causes of death included cancer, heart disease, stroke and suicide.
