News: " 'Weight is healthy' study criticised"

A study which suggests being overweight can lead to a longer life has caused controversy among obesity experts. That study points that a Body Mass Index between 25 and 35 (which includes overweight and midly obese people) makes people to life longer, saying that said being "overweight was associated with significantly lower all-cause mortality". However, being underweight or really obese did cut life expectancy. This study makes the Royal College of Physicians called for the UK to rethink the way it tackles obesity.

This doesn't myself, but it affects me in the way that there are people that I'm related to that are on that condition. They often think about being more thin but even if they try it harder, they can't reach their objective.

Tackles: Taclejar, placar
