According to a recent study headed by Siddhartha Angadi, an associate professor at the University of Virginia, being overweight is frequently linked to bad health, but this may not always be the case.
The study challenges the widely held notion that fitness is solely determined by weight by showing that it is possible to be both overweight and fit. Actually, the study suggests that being physically untrained but thin may pose a greater health risk.
The study concentrated on the relationship between mortality risk and physical fitness rather than merely body weight. It was discovered that the risk of death for obese people who are physically fit is comparable to that of people who are normal weight. Physical characteristics, not body size, are the primary determinant of health outcomes.
