Today, I will talk to you about "how much do the elderly weigh and live the longest"

1

As we all know, the incidence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and malignant tumors in obese people is higher than that of normal people, that is, it will affect life expectancy.

2

Obesity cannot be measured simply by weight, the standard method is to measure body mass index (BMI), weight kg/height m2.

3

Recent studies have shown that for the elderly over 30 years old, moderate overweight is more long-lived, that is, the longest life expectancy with a BMI index between 0~0. Why?

4

If the elderly are too low in weight, their immunity will be weakened due to malnutrition, which will lead to infections, tumors and other diseases.

5

Older people are advised not to be underweight or overweight.

Maintain mild overweight for the healthiest and longest!
