Thin people more at risk of early death than the full

Canadian scientists from St. Michael's Hospital (St. Michael's Hospital), located in Toronto, came to the conclusion that thin people are more at risk of health than full. Researchers believe that the problem of obesity in recent years are overblown. They believe that overweight people have a greater life expectancy compared to the lean population.





To such conclusion scientists came after analysis of more than 50 scientific works devoted to the elucidation of the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and mortality. The result was the fact that low BMI is associated with a high risk of premature death.

According to experts, adults who have been underweight (body mass index less than 18,5), 1.8 times more likely at risk of premature dying than people with normal body weight (body mass index from 18.5 to 24.9).

The lead author of the study Joel ray (Joel Ray) said that obesity is indeed a serious problem, but it is not hard to lose weight because this can lead to an increase in the number of people with insufficient weight.
