Heavier People Seem to Live Longer

Meta-analysis - Being fatter may lead to a longer life!!! I do not believe this but it is what this study suggests.

And I hear conflicting info. Some show a chart as lower scale of obesity (there was a chart that had I think normal, overweight and then obese) and some say slightly overweight.

I just re-read what I wrote and it wasn't very clear. On the news one channel displayed a chart that had three categories: normal, overweight and obese and if I remember correctly each had three subsections and they said that the lower scale of obese lived longer. Another channel (without a chart) said that if you are slightly overweight one would live longer. I think they said that was from the NIH. So you probably know.
