Can my weight effect my rates for Life Insurance?

Bill,
Insurers take into account social factors of depression and pressure of feeling accepted. Obesity can lead to suicide in some people and these additional risks are factored into the policy premium. The levels of obesity are rising not only in the older generations but more worryingly, the younger generations as well. This is something parents, the government, food manufacturers and the medical profession should be brought up on. If the rising levels of obesity are not brought under control the public will be the ones paying the rising costs.
I am not saying that you are obese by any means but it will be taken into account your physical health. But just go online and fill out the short form then get quotes to compare..
Great Question?
