TL;DR: A graded increase in the prevalence ratio (PR) was observed with increasing severity of overweight and obesity for all of the health outcomes except for coronary heart disease in men and high blood cholesterol level in both men and women.

TL;DR: The dose-response relationship between BMI and the risk of developing chronic diseases was evident even among adults in the upper half of the healthy weight range, suggesting that adults should try to maintain a BMI between 18.5 and 21.9 to minimize their risk of disease.

TL;DR: The results suggest that integrated service arrangements improve access to mental health and substance abuse services for older adults who underuse these services.
