In this analysis, we bring together two research fields that have never been associated before: the clinical issue 'Quételet's body-mass index and longevity' and the comparative biological issue 'body-brain allometry'. Comparison of medical and biological data supports the view that body mass index is just a one-to-one mapping of the body-brain-energy balance-a biological variable indicating that an individual maintains its systemic energy homeostasis and therefore is likely to perform well in the coming years.
在这项分析中，我们将两个以前从未关联过的研究领域结合在一起：临床问题“奎特莱指数与寿命”和比较生物学问题“体脑比例”。医学和生物学数据的比较支持这样一种观点，即体重指数只是体脑能量平衡的一一映射——这是一个生物学变量，表明个体维持其全身能量平衡，因此很可能在未来几年表现良好。
