The article to go with the chart. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/07/health/0...amp;oref=slogin
QUOTE Linking, for the first time, causes of death to specific weights, they report that overweight people have a lower death rate because they are much less likely to die from a grab bag of diseases that includes Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, infections and lung disease. And that lower risk is not counteracted by increased risks of dying from any other disease, including cancer, diabetes or heart disease. QUOTE The new study began several years ago when the investigators used national data to look at death risks according to body weight. They concluded that, compared with people of normal weight, the overweight had a decreased death risk and the underweight and obese had increased risk. QUOTE “Health extends far beyond mortality rates,†said Dr. JoAnn Manson, chief of preventive medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
