Who would die sooner: an overweight or a thin person? does it make a difference?!


Question: both of them being the same age, in same environment, etc


Answers: both of them being the same age, in same environment, etc

Well it depends on how thin the person is; if they're just average, or if they're like anorexic...

If it's an overweight vs. an avg. person, the avg. person would have a better life expectancy because overweight people are more susceptible to heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, etc.

If it's an overweight person vs. an anorexic like thin person, the overweight person would probably have a better life expectancy because the extremely thin person would be very malnourished, obviously the overweight person would not have that problem.

probably an overweight person, due to heart issues and all that other stuff

overweight. they could get high blood pressure, or a heart attack easier.

depends on how overweight and how underweight. it is actually healthier to be 10 lbs underweight than 10 lbs over weight. And well look how many people who are alive and 50 lbs over weight. you dont see people 50 lbs underweight.
