FWIW, I have several Shoa survivors in my family that never really gained weight back, and are now quite old. Wow.

A healthy body weight doesn't lead to increased risk of heart disease.
The emaciated have health problems of their own to worry about.
The overweight have a host of health problems including cancer and heart disease.
People with a healthy body weight are somewhere in the middle between these extremes and that is (statistically speaking when assessing risk) the correct place to be.

Ah, but that’s the thing. A healthy body weight is different for everybody.

Sorry, I don't discuss diet with diet proselytizers.

There was actually a study of US Soliders that lived through the equivalent (or worse, in some cases) of the Shoa -— the Battan Death March and related acts by the Japanese.
They lived (and live) to be quite old compared to their peers.
The issue though is it’s impossible to “correct” for people who are just so tough (or whatever) they live through such dramatic events and calorie reduction.
These same family members were just tough people, and you have a correlation vs. causation issue.
