@MigraineBook @EstebanDL @BenBikmanPhD Not sure I'd go that far, but they certainly are at increased risk of this body type when they gain weight. Here's a sample of middle aged Okinawans today. The avg is highly IR yet avg BMI isn't very elevated.

@wyadvd @EAllen0417 @BBC_Future Clearly, middle aged Okinawans today are not doing as well as their parents. Centenarian Okinawans have a low bmi of approx 21, whereas the avg man in this athero study an OW 26.8. Calories / OW have certainly increased.
