If we have to put on weight at all, it s best to start adulthood at a normal weight and slowly add the pounds , a new study reveals.
Researchers from Ohio State University looked at data on two generations of people from Framingham, a city in Massachusetts from the ages of 31 to 80.
People who started adulthood at a normal weight and later became overweight – but never obese – tended to live the longest, they found.
Amazingly, adults who fit this definition lived longer than those adults whose weight was in a normal range throughout their life.
Rather less surprisingly, those who started adulthood as obese and continued to add weight had the highest mortality rate.

People who start adulthood with a body mass index (BMI) in the normal range and move later in life to being overweight – but never obese – tend to live the longest, a new study suggests.
Adults in this category lived longer than even those whose BMI stayed in the normal range throughout their life. Those who started adulthood as obese and continued to add weight had the highest mortality rate.
“The impact of weight gain on mortality is complex. It depends on both the timing and the magnitude of weight gain and where BMI started,” said Hui Zheng, lead author of the study and associate professor of sociology at The Ohio State University.

New York, Jan 27 : You are less likely to experience job distress and feel more secure at your workplace, if your company is open and transparent about the firm s finances, including budgets and profits, a new study suggests.
The study indicates that at companies with more financial transparency, workers felt more secure in their jobs, more committed to their employers and most significantly said they had better relationships with their managers. Transparency in disclosing financial information may substantially reduce job distress, particularly by smoothing relationships between workers and managers, said lead researcher Hui Zheng, Professor at The Ohio State University in the US.
