Based on this preliminary work, the team found the greatest number of preventable life-years lost were due to (in order from greatest to least) obesity, diabetes, tobacco use, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.


Yes, diabetes + prediabetes/insulin resistance might knock obesity off that top position. Where insulin resistance becomes prediabetes becomes diabetes is pretty arbitrary, anyways.
