This is pathetic, and typical of teh interhighway.

Not the abstract, but the delivery of it.

tactlessness aside, this is something I've wanted to see studied as those in a "moderately overweight" BMI class (25-28) have often fared well in "survival" studies in elderly populations.

Not sure how much I trust "bioelectrical impedance" as the way to go about measuring skeletal muscle though.

I would much rather die young and have lived it on the edge every day than die old, having spent most of my free time indoors, doing the same monotomous thing over and over again.
