Recycled 2,182 Posted March 28, 2014 I think I face a 80.31% higher risk of dying from anxiety because I know too much about all the other things that cause greater ricks of dying........ 4 CowgirlJane, vogue, feedyoureye and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted March 28, 2014 I really question this... I thought that it was long well known that being skinny helped with longevity. I suspect it depends on the REASONS for being underweight. Being a junkie that never eats versus someone who is naturally thin, stays active etc. 1 Keepgoing247 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feedyoureye 3,087 Posted March 28, 2014 under 18.5% BMI is pretty darned "skinny". I think what you say Jane is true, and when you reach that weight, you don't have much to lose before you will die from it....if you get sick or such.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NMJG 1,266 Posted March 28, 2014 BMI is such a stupid measure. It is so vague. My measurements and the caliper pinch test show exactly where I have excess fat that needs to go, but even those measurements aren't perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
