Likely an indicator of better income or some other variable, not necessarily a benefit of excess fat, although it could be an indicator of greater muscle mass which is well-known to contribute to longer life. It would also depend on adipose fat vs visceral fat. Bottom line, stay lean but not starvation lean so that you can survive a serious infection. Eliminate visceral/midsection fat. Stay muscular. Don't think being "overfat" is a benefit. Avoid acting on dubious correlations. Correlation really isn't causality. Don't trust studies and especially observation studies and especially observation studies using BMI.
