There are overweight people who are healthy, who are just that, overweight. My aunt in New York has been overweight her entire life (her siblings are slim, though). She has no health problems what-so-ever. She's always walked to the stores and such, because she and her husband didn't invest in a car until a couple of years ago since they started taking road trips with their kids. They also didn't have any reason to drive because everything is in walking distance.Not necessarily. My friend is overweight, his brother isn't, and his parents aren't. Explain that one.

Well yeah, but overweight usually presents a higher possibility to get health problems, as do underweight.
