    Key to a long life is a waist measuring less than half your height

    Key to a long life is a waist measuring less than half your height - Telegraph

    Shame that in MF's case it is roughly double.

      indeed - it is sort of saying the fatter you are the more likely you are to die ahead of the average age for dying.

      which most people knew anyway really

        Someone was telling me how sumo wrestlers are actually quite healthy, despite their weight. Something to do with eating a specific diet to gain weight but doing exercise as well, rather than the western way of getting fat through stuffing your face with crap whilst being too lazy to get up off the sofa.

        I'm 47% BTW. Now what shall I do with my extra 20 years of life?

            I would guess that this is to do with the differences between being fit/strong and being over weight. You can be very fit and very strong but still have a high level of body fat.

            Although whether this is actually 'healthy' is a different question!

              I wonder if this movement towards healthier living and living longer just means we'll all die much more horrible deaths from nastier diseases.

                  I disagree. Relative to this Lesbians aren't lesbians because they couldn't get a man. When will the myths about gay people finally die a death? - Telegraph it is news.
