Abstract
Many large-scale epidemiological data sources used to evaluate the body mass index (BMI: kg/m(2)) mortality association have relied on BMI derived from self-reported height and weight. Although measured BMI (BMI(M)) and self-reported BMI (BMI(SR)) correlate highly, self-reports are systematically biased.
