A new work found that a few pounds transport may not be as dangerous as low weight for those who are “fat but suitable”.
Researchers from the Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark followed more than 85,000 adults and found that the likelihood of weak people would die during the working period was about three times higher at the highest end of the normal body mass index (BMI).
In the “healthy” range, but even the bottom participants faced the risk of premature death.
For the first time, there are more children in the world who are obese.
Meanwhile, those who are overweight or moderately obese did not face higher death rates than the BMI people in the upper normal range.

The findings show that a calculation using a long-standing assumptions about the BMI-existing assumptions-agglomeration and height-and health is possible to be “oil but appropriate”, and that a few pounds transport may not be as harmful as it once thought.
The researchers presented their findings at the annual meeting of the European Diabetes Research Association in Vienna last week.
Researchers say that body fat foresees the great risk of health that BMI misses
However, the biggest risk came at both ends: severe obesity and low weight.
Dr. Aarhus University Hospital Chief Researcher. “Both low and obesity are great global health difficulties.” He said.
Gibsholt can disrupt the metabolism of the body, weaken the immune system, and cause type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and 15 different cancer, and depends on low weight, malnutrition, malnutrition, weakened immunity and nutrient deficiencies.
According to the findings, being too thin can cause dangers greater than being a little overweight. (Istock)
According to the researchers, body fat distribution and underlying health conditions play a major role in general health.

“Viseral oil – very metabolic active and deeply stored in the abdomen, wrapped around the organs – secrete compounds that adversely affect metabolic health.” He said.
“As a result, an individual with an apple-shaped individual can be another person with the same BMI, which can be an individual-phase oil around the abdomen. [be] It is free of these problems because excess fat in his hips, hips and thighs, ”he added.

Bruun said that obesity treatment should be personalized to take into account these factors and other conditions when determining target weight.

Fox News Digital has reached the authors of the study for comment.
Fox News Digital, an epidemiologist at North Dakota State University, who is not involved in the research, said that the findings support other recent research, but that health risks have increased steadily with BMI, he said.
“Higher mortality rates in lower BMI people have caused the situation to appear backwards,” Bhagavathula told FOX News Digital. He said. “Diseases such as cancer or heart failure cause weight loss first, which makes it more dangerous than its low weight is actually.”

According to the World Health Organization, obesity tends to come before serious health problems.
Mild excess weight can provide a “protective effect” during the disease. (Istock)
Bhagavathula, elderly adults -related muscle loss, such as falling and infections increases the vulnerability, while light weight can provide a “protective effect” by offering energy reserves during the disease, he added. Denmark’s healthy and active lifestyle, including the common bike, can also contribute to this effect.
BMI stressed that BMI should be considered together with other measures such as muscle mass, muscle mass, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, gender and ethnic origin.

“Existing health messages often focus on weight loss too much, creates shame and unnecessary medical treatment for people with extreme overweight but normal body function.” “These findings show how the body works for food, to emphasize physical activity, to shift to a nutrition approach that emphasizes balanced food and blood tests instead of BMI.”
