I was just wondering if people who exercise live longer and are

healthier than slim people who don't exercise.

Hey Doc--

What do you think of the recent CDC/NCI report that death rate of the
lean was higher than a supposedly matched group of overweight? Too many
confounding variables?

It's interesting, but just one study. Certainly, it is far from definitive.

I find it somehow disquieting. I know I remember some of the insurance
actuaries raised their ideal weight tables for underwriting purposes a
couple of years back.
