According to one study, overweight and underweight can do unanimously.

Something too much and less turns out to be bad. This recent study has also shown that very high and very low levels of Body mass index (BMI) are linked to an increased risk of death due to several causes. The study found that a BMI between 21 and 25 kg / m2 is associated with the lowest risk of death from cancer and heart disease, a media report recently said.

The experts had included 3.6 million people and 367,512 deaths in the analysis. In their opinion, this study will help the public and health workers understand how underweight and overweight can have a negative and direct impact on various aspects of health or could indicate underlying health problems.

The study results showed that obesity (BMI of 30 and above) can be linked to a loss of 4.2 years of life in men and 3.5 years in women. Excess weight has been associated with a higher risk of cancer deaths and heart disease, two leading causes of death, as well as several other major conditions leading to deaths such as respiratory illnesses, liver disease and diabetes.

Underweight has been associated with a higher risk of death due to many conditions such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, dementia, Alzheimer's disease and suicide. This study was published in Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology.
