An abnormal BMI in children – be it high or low – can now be associated with impaired lung function, but if their BMI is normalised before they reach adulthood, the impairment can be offset, ...

A new study compares body mass index (BMI) with body fat percentage and finds the latter is far more reliable in predicting ...

During the evaluation of those with a persistent high BMI, defined as “normal BMI at an early age, increased in childhood and persistently increasing in later follow-up,” vs. those with stable ...

In terms of relationships with postoperative function, higher BMI had an estimated mean correlation of –0.15 (95% CI, –0.24 to –.05), while the mean correlation with better physical function ...

Greater body mass index from early adulthood to midlife is associated ... Censoring high-BMI, low-cognitive-function individuals from the analysis could have led to an observed association ...

BMI is a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of their height in meters.. A BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese, while a BMI of 40 or above is considered severely obese. A ...
