Using the nationally representative Slan dataset of 2007 we analyse the relationship between self-reported and measured BMI. We find that self-reported BMI significantly underestimates obesity rates and suggest that the traditional threshold of 30 should be adjusted downwards. We outline a...

A new multiple testing procedure, called the FDR<Subscript> L </Subscript> procedure, was proposed by Zhang et al.
