Developed by Louis Israel Dublin for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, the table concludes that being "overweight" is beneficial for health before the age of 35 and detrimental for health after. The table will be frequently cited and reprinted, but is widely critiqued today for its statistical errors and the overwhelmingly white and male subjects included in the data. As opposed to the Body Mass Index, which attempts to establish a standard "healthy" weight range for all bodies, the Standard Table is divided by assigned sex and age.
