Healthy obesity is a myth

[Remote]

From reddit:

"Healthy obesity" is a myth. Overweight and obese people have an elevated risk of heart attack and heart disease, whether or not they have metabolic syndrome.

Maintaining a healthy body weight is essential for reducing the risk of heart disease, according to a new study from Denmark. This is true even for people who don't have metabolic syndrome (MetS), a group of risk factors for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

After following the participants for almost four years, the researchers found that being overweight but without metabolic syndrome increased the risk of heart attack by 1.26 times, compared to having normal weight and no metabolic syndrome. This risk jumped to 1.88 for obese people without metabolic syndrome. The results were similar for ischemic heart disease, also known as coronary artery disease.
While the absence of metabolic syndrome did not eliminate the risk of heart disease, its presence still increased the risk of heart attack in overweight and obese people by 1.70 and 2.33 times, respectively.
Even normal weight people with metabolic syndrome were 1.39 times more likely to develop heart disease during the study, when compared to normal weight people without metabolic syndrome.

So basically, there's no such thing as being "thick" and healthy.

This isn't true, you can still be thick and chunky even if you work out and eat right.
Plus, there's some fat people who have zero health problems.

This 4-year scientific study says otherwise.

No one with sense thinks that being overweight is healthy. Even if your blood tests come out clean as a whistle you still have fat in places there should be fat which can eventually become a problem. The extra weight impacts your joints and shyt as well.

I'd be happy to read of any studies opposing the results of this one if you have them.

People who believe in being "thick" or "big boned"

I mean, probably the same people who love these 40-inch waists on 5'4 women.

Scientifically, she's at an increased rate for heart disease than if she was...say...20 pounds lighter

But Serena is listed at 5'9, 155 lbs. And she's super lean. Poor example for you to cite. That's pretty much the very definition of cherry picking considering what most people consider to be "thick"

Kim K, Nicki Minaj, Beyonce, etc. are considered thick do you consider them unhealthy?

I consider them at increased risk for heart disease...like the study suggests.
