It turned out that obesity prolongs life.
People who are overweight have less chance of dying early. This is the conclusion of the doctors-researchers from the University hospital in Copenhagen.
Scientists have focused on the fact that obesity is now “plays in favor of” people for the last decade.
Researchers from Copenhagen conducted a risk analysis of early death based on their body mass. This study took place several decades: the second half of the 70-ies, in the nineties and in the period from 2003 to 2013.
The study found that people who had the obesity of the first degree had a low risk factor of mortality, in the seventies it was 1.3, but zero in the already – exactly one.
