height weight and age were recorded and averaged thus the results are not meant to indicate ideal or optimum weights the most significant results of this study were first from 65 to 94 the number of obese men and women decreases from 35 per cent to 10 per cent and sec ond the number of those under weight increases from 20 per cent to 50 per cent these em- phasize the unfavorable survival rate of
