Question: how long does the average obese person live?
Answer: Obesity could 'rob you' of 20 years of health. "Obesity knocks 20 years of good health off your life and can accelerate death by eight years," the Mail Online reports. A study has estimated very obese men aged 20 to 39, with a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or above, have a reduced life expectancy of eight years.
