You are a troll and you ask how
What does lying about me being a troll have to do a news article? You're shameless
ironclad urchin
SHAAHSHAAHSHAAH.
damn i bet u really regret not being 416lbs now eh
Get in my luuq
Also what kinda bullshit topic is this only fat nigga would believe this bullshit
For the two posters above me, it's not tabloid but a actual study. Here's the journal: http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2520627
Welcome to the world of statistics though. Things can become incredibly misleading without context. Like this study. If you read the article, or if you're familiar with how BMI works, you'd know that BMI is a really faulty metric to use when trying to determine who's overweight or obese. BMI only uses two factors, weight and height. So that doesn't account for muscle. You'll have a bunch of low body fat and muscular tall niggas clumped in with the fat asses. Another thing to note, people who are sick, or struggle with mental illnesses and people with addictions are usually pretty thin right? Think of a Alzheimer's patient, or a inmate at a mental health facility, or a heroin addict. Most of the time their underweight. So clumping those type of people in with the fit thin people and then making a conclusion of the mortality of that group is ridiculous. Correlation without context can be extremely misleading.
I don't want to discredit the researchers because in their journal it seems like they're just as confused as us. It seems like they just ran a empirical experiment and have yet to find the cause for their results. If anything let's blame National Post for sensationalizing all of this. From the conclusion part of the research journal:
