In the study conducted by De. Simopoulos AP and Dr. Van Itallie TB. found that in the United States, the weight associated with the greatest longevity tends to below the average weight
of the population under consideration, if such weights are not
associated with a history of significant medical impairment. Overweight
persons tend to die sooner than average-weight
persons, especially those who are overweight at younger ages. The
effect of being overweight on mortality is delayed and may not be seen
in short-term studies. Cigarette smoking is a potential confounder of
the relationship between obesity and mortality. Studies on body weight, morbidity, and mortality must be interpreted with careful attention to the definitions of obesity or relative weight used, preexisting morbid conditions, the length of follow-up, and confounders in the analysis. The terminology of body weight standards should be defined more precisely and cited appropriately. An appropriate database relating body weight
by sex, age, and possibly frame size to morbidity and mortality should
be developed to permit the preparation of reference tables for defining
the desirable range of body weight based on morbidity and mortality statistics(1)
