"one of the 10 leading causes of death and disability in the world" Smoking tobacco: 435,000 [11] 18.1%: Obesity: 111,900 [14] 4.6%: There was considerable debate about the differences in the numbers of obesity-related diseases. [15] The value here reflects the death rate for obesity that has been found to be the most accurate of the debated ...
A similar 2016 study found that, of the BMI ranges studied (which ranged from 18.5 to >30), the "normal" 18.5–22.4 BMI range combined with healthy eating, high levels of physical activity, not smoking, and no more than moderate alcohol consumption was associated with the lowest risk of premature death.

To calculate the preventable years of life lost, the analyst has to set an upper reference age. This is essentially arbitrary and can be set, for example, to 65 to capture the whole population up to retirement, or 75 which, in developed countries, corresponds roughly to the life expectancy of the population being studied.
Addressing the problem of social isolation reduces the risk of mortality associated with obesity, a new study has found. ... a large biomedical database and research resource that follows people ...

Consuming ultra-processed foods has serious negative health effects on human health. They are a leading cause of preventable chronic illnesses and premature death globally. For example, about 678,000 Americans die each year from chronic food illnesses, a toll higher than all combat deaths in American history combined.
He points out that while research shows genetics probably contribute to about 30% of the risk of premature death, things like social circumstances, environmental exposures and behaviors can ...
Adults born preterm have higher all-cause mortality rates as compared to full-term adults. Premature birth is associated with a 1.2x to 1.6x increase in all-cause mortality rates during early to mid-adulthood. Those born extremely prematurely (22–27 weeks) have an even higher mortality rate of 1.9x to 4.0x. [3]
