Cause-specific excess deaths associated with underweight, overweight, and obesity. (2007, background): “In our results, excess mortality among the underweight was primarily related to chronic respiratory conditions, as others have found.(32,33,41) This finding may be partly due to weight loss associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, although among such patients, low BMI has also been sho”
