The Healthiest Weight: Present and Future

Abstract

Successful weight loss and maintenance programs should consider the optimal timing for the brain's control of body weight. The bases for successful Weight Management Programs have been recently proposed utilizing a new BMI sub-categorization and current state-of-the-art technologies. An inverse relationship between meal frequency and body weight has also been observed and is directly related to achieving a healthy weight. Practising regular exercise has also been shown to cause a significant reduction in Heart Rate while achieving and maintaining the Healthiest Weight as well as increasing life expectancy. Thus, the implementation of healthy habits and regular aerobic exercise programs by public authorities may contribute to the reduction in all-cause mortality worldwide. Adapting WHO-defined BMI thresholds to novel calibrated thresholds has been further revalidated by incorporating recently published multi-dimensional data from large- scale worldwide studies, resulting in a new likelihood model of the health risks associated with adiposity. This latest study has great potential in personalized and preventive medicine. In addition to ongoing vaccination programs, the results of this novel approach could be used as an “alternative method of prevention” to naturally tackle the current COVID-19 pandemic, and other anticipated in the future to come. Other current and future weight management developments are also discussed.
