Abstract

The author reflects on the inaccuracies in two published articles about the associations among age variation, obesity status and mortality risk in the 2013 issues of the "American Journal of Public Health" (AJPH) and the "American Journal of Epidemiology" (AJE). Also cited are the letter to the editor claiming a selection bias in the articles, and the possible effects of the studies to the insurance industry.
