I mean shouldn’t the extremes of both end be equally harming to a person? why do skinny/underweight people and fat/overweight people not have the the same amount of health issues?
In: Biology
Both extremes are unhealthy and very likely lead to premature deaths. But in nearly all societies, there is a much higher proportion of overweight people than underweight people. In that sense, it doesn’t make much sense from a public health perspective to raise alarms and focus resources about being underweight.
