🚨 Study finds being underweight may be deadlier than obesity

A major Danish study is challenging one of the most deep-rooted ideas in medicine: that thinner automatically means healthier.

Researchers followed more than 85,000 people and discovered that those in the underweight or low-normal BMI range (below 22.5) faced significantly higher death rates than those who were overweight or mildly obese.

People who were underweight had nearly triple the risk of death compared to those at the high end of the “healthy” range.

Surprisingly, individuals with a BMI between 25–35 (classified as overweight or mildly obese) showed no higher risk of death than their so-called normal-weight peers.

This suggests that BMI alone is a poor measure of health, as it ignores crucial factors like fat distribution, muscle mass, and metabolic health.

The findings highlight that a person with a higher BMI but good metabolic markers (such as healthy cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar) may be in better shape than someone who is thin but malnourished or battling hidden illness.

👉 The study calls for a more personalized approach to weight and health, moving away from “one-size-fits-all” BMI categories toward deeper assessments of body composition and overall metabolic health.

German researchers have developed a bioactive injectable hydrogel that promotes the natural regrowth of damaged joint cartilage, offering a potential alternative to invasive surgery.

This innovative gel is formulated with collagen, growth factors, and compounds that attract the body's own stem cells to the site of injury, creating a scaffold for the tissue to rebuild itself.

This breakthrough in regenerative medicine could revolutionize treatment for millions suffering from arthritis, sports injuries, and joint degeneration, promising a future where a simple injection could restore mobility and eliminate the need for joint replacements.
