High BMIs linked to a greater risk of death from every major cause People who are over or underweight may be at greater risk of death than previously expected, scientists say.
London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine researchers analysed data from around 3.6 million people to make the conclusion.
They found having a high BMI - over 25 - is linked to a higher risk of death from every major cause, except transport accidents.
While being underweight was also found to increase the risk of death for conditions such as cancer and heart disease, according to the study. The Daily Mail
