Tim Hale said...: Shocking data, to say the least. As an MBA/MHA student and (hopefully) future hospital administrator, I would be interested to see a post regarding BIDMC's efforts towards health & wellness promotion.; April 08, 2008 2:31 PM

The PDF should be free, but the bottom line is that because of systematic under-estimation of height and weight, BMI from self-report in BRFSS is too low.
