Excess deaths associated with underweight, overweight, and obesity.

JAMA 2005 Apr 20;293(15):1861-7.
PubMed Citation Journal Link

... CONCLUSIONS: Underweight and obesity, particularly higher levels of obesity, were associated with increased mortality relative to the normal weight category. The impact of obesity on mortality may have decreased over time, perhaps because of improvements in public health and medical care. These findings are consistent with the increases in life expectancy in the United States and the declining mortality rates from ischemic heart disease.
