Childhood obesity is now linked to increased stroke risk.
Researchers looked at nearly 2 million people s medical history and found those who were in an overweight category as an adolescent were twice as likely to have a stroke before the age of 50.
Obese children were almost three-and-a-half times more likely to have a stroke before turning 50.
Another surprising finding was that it wasn t type 2 diabetes that explained the higher risk, just greater amounts of excess fat.
Two fictional characters names Ezra and Charlie are part of a new campaign called Obecity USA, which depicts cities all over America.
