Epidemiologic studies of body mass index (BMI) in relation to mortality commonly exclude persons with health conditions and/or a history of smoking to prevent bias resulting from illness-related weight loss ('reverse causation'). Analysis of BMI from an earlier time period may minimize reverse causation without requiring exclusion of participants based on disease or smoking history.
