how are you determining the obesity tho? With BMI? Cuz if you are using BMI, that's horribly inaccurate, else most heavy weight athletes would be morbidly obese. Granted, they will suffer some problems, but they eat extremely heathly and exercise vigorously, prolly more so than their american counterparts. Saturated fat and hardening of the arteries is what causes strokes and heart related problems, not just being "Fat". If they keep their healthy lifestyle and only lose the fat after they retire, they will have more life expectancy than if they just let their health get shot to hell.
