Brain size, body size and longevity [PDF]

International Journal of Obesity, 2010
In this analysis, we bring together two research fields that have never been associated before: the clinical issue 'Quételet's body-mass index and longevity' and the comparative biological issue 'body-brain allometry'. Comparison of medical and biological data supports the view that body mass index is just a one-to-one mapping of the body-brain-energy ...
