This post might offend, but I'm curious................

What is the oldest age that you have ever known of someone who was overweight most of their life to live to?

For me it is 72

However it seems like the mid to late 60's is the most common...

So, can I ask, if a 50 something year old refuses to try to lose weight is that the same as a 20 something year old refusing to get treatment for cancer (or diabets, or whatever)

My grandma turned 80 this past December and she has been overweight her whole life.

Can I ask how her health is now... like is she able to live alone, etc?

Quoting catrig:

I don't think I know anyone who has been overweight their entire life, at least not to my knowledge.
