But back to the subject, the study was NOT discussing people who are obese. In my opinion, simply put, It was NOT meant to focus on anything but studying people over ninety who were not having dementia and seeing what the commonalities were among the group.
They noted that people seem to do better in their nineties if they
were a LITTLE overweight rather than underweight.
