The death risk increase by 30% by every 5 point increase in the BMI as compared to the healthy weight.
Every body who in the high range of healthy weight range, with a BMI of 22.5 to 25 are the one with the lowest risk of dying early.

To worsen the situation of one third of the adult population being obsessed, few of them are still not stopping to gain weight, says Michael Thun. It is easy to gain more weight then to lose once you are obsessed. To stop gaining weight should be our motto.
