Document Summary

2005 study that said a little overweight ppl live longer than lean counterparts.

However this study along with previous researched show that mildly overweight people are not in urgency to lose weight, if they are in healthy condition and exercise semi-frequently.

Confounding variable too, usually thinner people smoke, and as a result they also die more, but not because of their weight.
