    Don’t worry if you are not overweight. Researchers from the Graduate School of Medicine of Tohoku University in Japan conducted a 12-year follow-up survey of 50,000 people between 40 and 79 years old in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. They found that at 40 years old, people who are slightly overweight are more average than those who are too thin Life expectancy is 6 to 7 years longer, and the average life expectancy of obese people is about 5 years longer than those who are too thin.
