What is the best measure of adiposity change in growing children: BMI, BMI %, BMI z-score or BMI centile? (vol 59, pg 419, 2005) [PDF]
European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2005 Weight control programs for obese children monitor change in body mass index (BMI) adjusted for age. However, change can be measured in several ways: raw (kg/m2) units, percentage, z-scores or centiles. The suitability of the different measures is not known.To identify the optimal BMI measure for change, whose short-term variability is most consistent ...

Low BMI, but not high BMI, influences the timing of puberty in boys [PDF]
Andrology, 2021 AbstractBackgroundPrevious studies investigating the association between weight status and onset of puberty in boys have been equivocal. It is currently unclear to what extent weight class influences puberty onset and progression.ObjectivesTo explore the relationship between degree of sexual maturation and anthropometric measures in Norwegian boys ...

A short note on the BMI and on secular changes in BMI
Human Biology and Public Health, 2021 Human size changes over time with worldwide secular trends in height, weight, and body mass index (BMI). There is general agreement to relate the state of nutrition to height and weight, and to ratios of weight-to-height. The BMI is a ratio. It is commonly used to classify underweight, overweight and obesity in adults.

The association between BMI self-selection, self-reported BMI and objectively measured BMI [PDF]
HRB Open Research, 2021 Background: It is challenging to measure BMI accurately in population studies because it is an expensive and time-consuming task. As a result, subjectively measured BMI, calculated from self-reported height and weight, which we know to be inaccurate, is often used.

BMI and Lifetime Changes in BMI and Cancer Mortality Risk [PDF]
PLOS ONE, 2015 Body Mass Index (BMI) is known to be associated with cancer mortality, but little is known about the link between lifetime changes in BMI and cancer mortality in both males and females. We studied the association of BMI measurements (at baseline, highest and lowest BMI during the study-period) and lifetime changes in BMI (calculated over different time

dGEMRIC as a function of BMI [PDF]
Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 2006 Delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) reflects cartilage glycosaminoglycan (GAG) distribution. The technique assumes that the plasma levels of the contrast agent Gd-DTPA(2-) are the same across individuals after intravenous (IV) injection, when dosing by weight.

The association between BMI and mortality using early adulthood BMI as an instrumental variable for midlife BMI [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractThe article aims to describe the association between midlife body mass index (BMI) and cardiovascular disease (CVD)- and all-cause mortality, and to use early adulthood BMI as an instrumental variable for midlife BMI, in order to obtain an estimate less distorted by midlife confounders and reverse causality.
