There are acceptions to every rule. I'm not saying that all people who a catagoricly obese have high bp or high chol, just like there are some people who smoke their whole lives and never get lung cancer while another person who never smoked gets it. But it does increase the risks. If I'm a sky diver and I apply for life insurance they're going to price me higher than someone who doesn't regularly jump out of planes.
