Is Overweight or Obese a Health Risk - or Not?

This week I talk to Dr. Rachel Wildman about her recent article in the Archives of Internal Medicine reporting the research work of her and her colleagues into the relationship between obesity and cardiometabolic risk factors.  Some normal-weight people have a lot of cardiometabolic risk factors and some obese people don’t have a lot of cardiometabolic risk factors.  One of the things that stands out in her research is the role of exercise.
