Being obese may not be as risky as before, but modesty can be deadly, finding separate studies

Two new studies released this week find divergent results on weight and risk of death, showing that being too thin can be more dangerous than being too heavy.

Two scientific studies published this week have highlighted discrepancies, but perhaps laudatory results on obesity and weight loss, according to a York University study in Toronto that the overweight or even obesity does not increase the risk of dying, according to the article published in the scientific journal Clinical Obesity

But another scientific study, conducted by researchers from the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation in Chennai, India, and published in the online journal Scientific PLOS One showed that there is an increased risk of mortality is not among obese people – but among people who are too thin.

"We are not saying that people should be aiming to get fat, but only that some overweight or obese people can be perfect Researcher Ranjit Mohan Anjana, a diabetes specialist, told the Indian newspaper Telegraph that this discovery seems to align with the York University study, which found that obese people who do not have it According to a summary of the study published by [http://www.youtube.com] Daily Science A distinct metabolic risk factor, such as hyperglycemia or high blood pressure, does not present a higher risk of death than in non-obese individuals. Lead author of the study, Jennifer Kuk, of the School of Kinesiology and Health Sciences of York University, the study, which covered a sample of 54,089 men and women , should help change the way society perceives The study shows that obesity alone is not necessarily an unhealthy condition.

In other words, for overweight people who do not have any other risk factor, the fight to shave off Books can be a waste of time, at least as much as According to the site of scientific news Eureka Alert .

"We show that individuals with metabolically healthy obesity are not at a high mortality rate.We have found that a person of normal weight without other metabolic risk factors is equally likely to die only the person suffering from obesity and no other risk factor, "Kuk said. "That means that hundreds of thousands of people in North America alone with a metabolically healthy obesity will be told to lose weight when one may wonder what benefit they will actually receive."

On the other hand, according to Mohan, Madras A study by the Foundation for Diabetes Research found that underweight people "lack essential nutrients, resulting in complications, including death, "according to a report from the study The Times of India . with a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality in the overall cohort of the study, while overweight and obesity were not, "said the researcher
