IN obesity	The Use of defining diagnostic criteria for obesity, preclinical obesity and clinical obesity As Diagnostic Tool	Is useful Than no comparison here	To separate obesity (excess adiposity without health impact), preclinical obesity (with increased risk of organ damage) and clinicla obesity (with organ or functional repercussion)
N Engl J Med. 2006 Aug 24;355(8):779-87. Epub 2006 Aug 22		Cohorts
IN obesity	The Use of body mass index (BMI, weight in Kg/ square of height in m) As Etiologic risk factor	Is useful Than no comparison here	To predict risk of death, at 12 years: J-shaped association with the BMI, with lowest risk at BMI 23 to 25 and increase in underweight, overweight, and obese people.
N Engl J Med. 2006 Aug 24;355(8):763-78. Epub 2006 Aug 22		Cohorts
IN obesity	The Use of body mass index (BMI, weight in Kg/ square of height in m) As Etiologic risk factor	Is useful Than no comparison here	To predict risk of death, at 10 years: relative increasing of 20 to 40% with overweight, RR 2.0 to 3.0 in obese persons.
Ann Intern Med. 2003 Jan 7;138(1):24-32		Cohorts
IN obesity	The Use of body mass index (BMI, weight in Kg/ square of height in m) As Prognostic Item	Is useful Than no comparison	To predict increased risk of death and disease: forty year people lost 6 to 7 years of life expectancy because of obesity, magnitude similar to smoking.

IN obesity, malnutrition	The Use of body mass index (BMI, weight in Kg/ square of height in m) As Prognostic Item	Is useful Than No comparison here	To predict risk of years: J-shaped association, with lowest risk at BMI 22.5 to 25 and progressive increase in underweight and overweight people
