Obese with low belly measurement? Really, really big thighs?

Don't recommend liposuction, even in jest. I know someone who died at 53 from complications. Too young to measure lipo's effects on dementia.

Even better stock tip: invest in the long-term care industry.  We're probably not getting any skinnier any time soon.

Overweight people were 82 percent more likely if they had a low belly measurement, but MORE THAN TWICE as likely if they had a high belly measurement.

um...you mean overweight people with a high belly measurement are 164% more likely? Is this a typo or have I failed basic math?

I'm old and fat, and have no fear of dementia or any other automated telephone call from one of those refinancing outfits that gets almost 40 miles to the gallon in the city and over 46 in which the aforementioned "Susie" bent over as if to tighten the laces on her thigh-high patent leather hairball next to the toilet at three o'clock in the morning when all that coffee I'd drunk at Starbucks made its way to my senior vice-president for human resources announced that the rumors are untrue and there's nothing to worry about unless Iraq descending once again into Pennsylvania won't be the end of either Hillary or cows grazing on the working ranch next to my new place sometimes come right up to the fact that punctuation is certainly over-rated, given all the drugs I did in my youth.

What was the question?

yard, that last post has given me a headache because I was stupid enough to try to follow your reasoning.

THAT was the question!

Blackton, I fell for it too.

But...I thought Paul Campos said fat was good for me....
