Lots of attention is placed on people who are obese or morbidly - TopicsExpress



          

Lots of attention is placed on people who are obese or morbidly obese, given the population trends we are seeing today. However, this brief article talks about the cases of people who are excessively underweight (Body Mass Index (BMI) less than 18.5). Their death risk is actually higher than obese people. As with most things in life, it appears that moderation for weight is the answer (i.e., have a BMI between 20 and 25). Note: BMI is basically a height to weight ratio and here is a link to a page on how to calculate it: https://nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/BMI/bmicalc.htm or do a Google search for BMI Calculator. :-)
