E. the ‘optimal’ BMI) and the range around the point that still represents ‘reasonable’ BMIs for people is a challenging task involving empirical, statistical and conceptual issues. The empirical issue concerns the fact that the BMIs associated with minimal mortality seem to vary with subject characteristics such as age, sex, and race as described elsewhere in this chapter and may also vary as a function of other factors such as genotype. However, beyond the factors of age and sex, knowledge is very limited.
However, due to 33 its very small sample size, this study cannot support firm conclusions. In a 10-year prospective study in Italy, Menotti et al. (21) examined the association of BMI with mortality rate and skinfold measurements among 8341 men and 1199 women. Among both men and women, results showed a consistent and clear Ushaped association between BMI and mortality. In contrast, the analysis of skinfold data among men showed ‘similar but definitely less clear-cut findings’ (p. 296) and an ‘irregular trend’ after excluding certain subjects.
