Study links higher late-life BMI to lower mortality risk
Key Takeaways
- A study of 6,905 U.S. adults over 65 linked higher BMI with lower mortality risk over 14 years.
- Larger waist size was still independently associated with increased mortality once BMI was considered.
- The findings suggest BMI alone may be insufficient for assessing health risk in older adults.
