What are health risks to woman from being chubby all her life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many: It depends - how chubby is chubby? In general, the more fat someone carries, the higher their risk for diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Many cancers occur more often in overweight and obese individuals.
