Obesity not much of a risk factor in patients over 60

HUGE risk factor in young male patients. BMI over 40 has a 12-17x increased risk of death! I’d like to see tighter error bars but there is a clear trend.

Wow

Very interesting that the 25-29 BMI range fared better than the 20-24 BMI range in almost every category. Obviously within margin of error, so for all intents and purposes they are the same.

Seems if you are less than retirement age and have less than a 30 BMI, you are safe as you can be.

From what or where is this data?

Likely because there are still so few deaths under 60, regardless of BMI.



But this lends some credence as to why obesity has been a comorbidity in <20% of the deaths in Louisiana.
