I think the degree of obesity and its effect on mortality would depend on
the height of the individual. I'm pretty sure that the 100 pounds of extra weight on a 4'10" woman is worse than the same weight on a 6'5" man!

Proportionally speaking you now have an extra 9 years (60 lbs less) to eat twinkies! ;-) faking seriousness but are you sure that the statistical model is correctly specified? is it RRRREALLY 100lbs / 15 years???? is the relationship really linear????
