Body-mass index and cause-specific mortality in 900 000 adults: collaborative analyses of 57 prospective studies (2009, neutral): “In each sex, the inverse association for respiratory mortality accounted for about 60% of the diﬀ erence in all-cause mortality between 15–20 kg/m² and 22·5–25 kg/m² (ﬁ gures 2 and 5).”
The Age-Specific Quantitative Effects of Metabolic Risk Factors on Cardiovascular Diseases and Diabetes: A Pooled Analysis (2013, result): “Evidence from a large prospective study with multiple measurements of weight and height showed that regression dilution bias did not substantially affect the RRs for BMI, reflecting its relative stability compared with the other metabolic risk factors [30].”

Obesity and Cancer: The Role of Dysfunctional Adipose Tissue (2009, background): “Recent meta-analyses (10, 13, 14) have shown that an increased BMI is associated with an increased incidence of endometrial, colorectal, and postmenopausal breast cancer (Table 1).”
The Preventable Causes of Death in the United States: Comparative Risk Assessment of Dietary, Lifestyle, and Metabolic Risk Factors (2009, background): “Evidence from a large prospective study with multiple measurements of weight and height showed that regression dilution bias did not affect the RRs for BMI, possibly because there is less variability [15].”
