Question

B) 25-29.99 (overweight) 
C) 30-34.99 (moderate obesity) 
D) 35 and above (severe obesity)

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that individuals in the overweight BMI range (25-29.99) often have a lower relative risk of death compared to those in the normal weight range, possibly due to factors like better metabolic reserves and the "obesity paradox."
