What is also interesting from the graph you shared is those in the "overweigh" category has the lowed Hazard Ratio if they were doing 1, 2 or 3 of the healthy activity. It makes me wonder if the "normal" people are engaging in unhealthy behaviors to be normal size have a larger impact then a bit of extra weight.

This is really interesting - on one hand, I wish this was more thoroughly studied because I'm personally curious, on the other I wish that we would just stop categorizing people by weight!

Thanks for this post! I reference that study a lot when I talk to people about these things; the graph really makes things clear.

Possible typo: You wrote "continue show," rather than "continue to show."
