WARNING: This is a guess. The source text is faulty; one can not have "lower" "characteristics". Please provide more context so that we can figure out what the author intended to say, but failed to communicate.

Guided by the added context I feel like upgrading my confidence level to \"high\". Please see reference!

I am however not convinced that the author got the causality right. Overweight increases the risk for diabetes and the risk for decrease in bone density!
