Sorry, but that&#x27;s not what the results show:

In general, the hazard ratios for the men were similar.</i><p>And the conclusion:<p><i>In white adults, overweight and obesity (and possibly underweight) are associated with increased all-cause mortality. All-cause mortality is generally lowest with a BMI of 20.0 to 24.9.</i>
