CLEVELAND â We know health risks associated with obesity include high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes to name a few.
But new research shows slowly adding on pounds as you age may actually help you live longer.
Researchers at The Ohio State University reviewed the medical histories of more than 8,000 parents and children, which included tracking their body mass index. They found patients who started with a normal BMI, adding small amounts of weight as they aged, survived the longest.
