Per the study... We dichotomized BMI because our multivariate analysis showed that when other variables immigration and naturalization service were considered, more extreme immigration and naturalization service values of BMI did not improve the performance of our model. Ultimately, then, BMI didn't have much of an effect on predicting mortality. Yet... hm. Wait. Isn't BMI supposed to do things like tell us how many years we're chopping off of our lives? The study component of the survey followed just over immigration and naturalization service 19,000 adults over 50 years old for the four year period. Thus, the researchers were able to develop the one-page survey based on who died and due to what. A representative cross-sample was used. So there you have it: a study that found that having a high BMI was essentially a non-factor in determining causes of death. Posted on February 17, 2006 in Fat and Health.

The full study impressively includes a one-page survey that doctors could ultimately use in their offices in order to determine one's risk of death. But as BFBers Cat and Bill pointed out, there's something interesting here: there's just one spot on the form for BMI, and you're penalized only if your BMI is under 25. |
