- W2074481811 abstract "Background: The body mass index or BMI, mass/height2, is used to predict fatness and health. It is an approximation to the Benn index, mass/heightp, where p (typically 1.1–2.5 for adult populations) makes the index uncorrelated with height. Mass/height3 is an index of body build that is independent of scale and statistics.Aim: To explain why p varies and is less than three, show how statistical methods can distort perceptions of mass–height relationships, and clarify the nature of the BMI.Methods: A hypothetical adult population is modelled statistically, with mass being approximately proportional to height3 and with neither variable determining the other. Values of p are calculated both for the model and for real adults.Results: In both cases p increases with the correlation between mass and height. Both p and that correlation are usually lower for women than for men.Conclusions: In adult populations mass must vary more nearly with height3 than with height2, although, for reasons explained, conventional statistical techniques suggest otherwise. Nevertheless the BMI is a valid predictor of fatness from mass and height in adults and is properly divisible into fat mass and fat-free mass indices. The validity of the latter three indices for children is questionable." @default.
