Being too thin can be deadlier than being overweight, Danish study reveals
New research from Denmark challenges long-held assumptions about body weight and health, revealing that being overweight—or even moderately obese—does not necessarily increase the risk of death compared to those at the upper end of the “normal” BMI range. In fact, those who are underweight or at the lower end of the so-called healthy spectrum faced higher risks.
