Being obese takes years off your life. Being slightly overweight is associated with best longevity.

BMIs from 40 to 44 is massively obese, not overweight.

The "perfect" fat percentage for men when it comes to health is around the 22% range. For women it's significantly higher. (35% iirc)

I'll try to find the study/abstract later if people care.
