摘要：

Patients defined as overweight or obese on the basis of BMI have reduced mortality and cardiovascular risk when compared with their normal-weight counterparts. The authors of this Viewpoint propose that these paradoxical results might reflect how obesity is currently measured and highlight the importance of differentiating between body fat and lean mass.
