dc.descriptionTo the Editor: Body mass index (BMI) is the most widely used weight-to-height ratio because of its correlation with all-cause mortality in adults,1 but in elderly populations, BMI is overestimated because of height loss with increasing age. The use of equations to estimate maximum adult stature of elderly adults has not solved this problem. Recently, Tanaka et al.2 hypothesized that a BMI surrogate with squared knee height (KH) in lieu of squared height would be a better approach to assess body mass in elderly adults. Data obtained using such a BMI surrogate (BMIS) are reported here.es_MX
