- Title
Putative biases in estimating mortality attributable to obesity in the US population.
- Authors
Greenberg, J A; Fontaine, K; Allison, D B
- Abstract
A recent analysis concluded that there were fewer excess deaths attributable to obesity in the US population than previously believed. This analysis may not have fully corrected for two putative biases, the regression-dilution and the reverse-causation biases. It is not presently known whether correcting for these biases would increase estimates of excess deaths attributable to obesity.
