[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 124161, member: 18023"] I am not trying to defend the study, but making the point that when someone thinks something is obvious or common sense, it often isn't. Confounding factors is quite difficult, are we to eliminate all the people with diabetes that is largely caused by being either overweight or obese? Giving up smoking is healthy but likely to cause weight gain. How about activity levels? I think being a little overweight past the age of 65 is more protective, like a 25-27 BMI, is more healthy. (While acknowledging the limitations of BMI and very muscular). Being underweight is not healthy at all, and obese is also not healthy. I have often read being mildly obese results in more heath problems but not in greater morality rate, and sometimes read it does cause a shorter life. Here is a more detailed study. [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK62367/']The Role of Obesity - Explaining Divergent Levels of Longevity in High-Income Countries - NCBI Bookshelf[/URL] A lot of men are trying to get to a very low percentage body, but as you get older that is also clearly not healthy. (I doubt it much affects the health of younger men.) But no one discusses if this is healthy or not. [/QUOTE]
