This might point as BMI not being the best metric to define obesity.

I bet people with high BMI but low fasting glucose and low c-reactive protein are mostly athletes, people who weight a lot due higher muscular weight. It wouldn't be surprising they are healthier.

I have a weird feeling that the vast majority of high-BMI people somehow don't really fall into the athlete category.
