I just ate a pint of B&J cookie dough ice cream, while drinking a Moxie & vodka, and split a plate of 4-cheese nachos with a friend. Now I'm going to go right to bed.

Have a good day, /fit/!

Compared to underweight people.

Normal weight people live longest.

Incorrect.
Statistically speaking, slightly overweight people live longer than underweight, normal weight, and significantly overweight individuals.

I keep seeing these stats thrown around here. Anyone have a link to the actual study?

Or maybe it has something to do with paunchy SUV drivers careening into trim joggers and cyclists.

You say that as if exercise isn't enjoyable.

I think it's because they used BMI instead of fat percentage, so muscular people also seem "slightly overweight"
>> Guil
The real question is are they looking at old people who are in their 70s? Where majority are dying of something or the other anyway and most are slightly overweight because exercise isn't really part of the schedule

If so then, who cares? I'm pretty sure if they measured someone who was fit all their life and ate healthy since childhood to someone who was overweight and ate like shit the healthy person would live longer, given that they both had no variables like cancer or a fatal accident.

Also, if they're looking at the elderly, underweight people (women in particular) frequently have low bone density and a good deal of muscle loss. I would think that an overweight woman at age 75 would have an advantage over an underweight one for that reason alone.

If this is the study, holy fuck. It clearly says the people who lived longest were at the border between Normal/Overweight. Now want to take a guess at where people with a good amount of muscle sit? I'll guess right at the border between Normal/Overweight

And still, no source on if they are using at-death records or what for this bullshit. People who are healthy all their lives often "let go" once they are very old and senile. I imagine when they lose that muscle and get some fat they still would sit right at the border of Normal/Overweight

Also, BMI is shit for anyone with a good-large amount of muscle

Also, there was no controlled study. Just some retards looking at old records.

Thanks for the link, Guil.

I just started searching for text from the actual study itself (fucking JAMA), but at the moment it looks to me that it didn't account for improvements in diagnosing/treating heart disease-related issues since the 1970s. This is relevant because 1.) this appears to be a meta-study that looks at data from numerous other surveys going back to the 70s, 2.) cardiovascular problems are particularly germane to the mortality of moderately overweight middle-aged people, and 3.) because of advances over the past three decades, many more people today survive heart attacks than did in, say, 1973.

tl;dr At the moment I am extremely sceptical of media reports regarding this study, but I haven't had a chance to actually look at the thing itself, so caveat anon-emptor.

No, because it doesn't exist.
