The percentage of men and women who are obese is 322 and 355 percent respectively. Physicians and epidemiologists began studying the link between height and longevity more than a century ago. But the evidence linking height to life threatening disorders should give us all pause. A small percentage of the population 57 is considered morbidly obese with a bmi of 40 or higher. Men of height 1753 cm or less lived an average of 495 years longer than those of height over 1753 cm while men of height 1702 cm or less lived 746 years longer than those of at least 1829 cm. Less than one third of adult americans are at a healthy weight.
An analysis by weight difference revealed a 772 year greater longevity for men of weight 636 kg or less compared with those of 909 kg or more.

The study found that 433 men and 944 women survived to age 90 but the women who lived that long were on average taller and had put on less weight since the age of 20 as compared to women who. In a large scale study involving more than 7 thousand people of both sexes it turned out that tall and slender women are more likely to live to 90 years than low and full women. Scientists from the netherlands have found that weight and height have a much greater effect on the life expectancy of women than men.
