Description: This paper presents recent trends in obesity prevalence in significant population segments, including overall effects by age, gender and certain racial and ethnic groups, and discusses the ways in which obesity can influence mortality in each of these segments. It provides a synthesis of reported mortality experience relating to these behaviors by risk factors and diseases that will affect any mortality projection.

Description: This is the informal discussion transcript from Session 5A: Mortality and Longevity Research from the January 4-6, 2017 Living to 100 Symposium in Orlando.
