Humans are objectively getting taller and fatter and having a bigger body generally is linked to more heart issues. But as far as the health impacts of that, it’s also worth noting that death statistics out of context tell a wildly different story in context. When infectious disease deaths go down heart disease deaths go up, and as heart disease deaths go down cancer deaths go up because we’re actually living longer.
