What is the best measure of adiposity change in growing children: BMI, BMI %, BMI z-score or BMI centile? [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 ...

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.
