Re: Overweight elderly live longer
That is quite interesting. It is a bit comforting to hear that focussing on health with exercise is more important than thinness for elderly. I am going to try to read the actual paper to see what factors they looked at. The report in the press is often a bit skewed.Startdate: November 18, 2007. Female 5'2"
