HealthDay (10/30, Reinberg) reports, "For the study, a team led by Dr. Asaf Vivante, of the Edmond and Lily Safra Children's Hospital, Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, collected data on almost 1.2 million 17-year-olds who were examined before service in the Israeli military between January 1967 and December 1997. The researchers then linked these teens to the Israeli end-stage kidney disease registry."

WebMD (10/30, Goodman) reports, "Some 25 years later, those who were overweight or obese as teens were roughly three to seven times more likely to be on dialysis for end-stage kidney disease compared to their normal-weight peers." Specifically, "among 100,000 people followed for a year, there were 2.32 cases of end-stage kidney disease diagnosed among those who had been at a healthy as teens; 6.08 cases diagnosed in adults who had been overweight; and 13.4 cases diagnosed in adults who had been obese when they entered the military." The Daily Mail (UK) (10/30, Bates) also covers the story.
