Reply to comment by hilfigertout in Childhood body mass index is unlikely to have a big impact on children's mood or behavioural disorders by giuliomagnifico

If you're smaller than other studies and have a result that's contrary to other current research, you've got to look at other variables pretty hard. If that's the data you have, then that's the data you have, but you've gotta explain why your study is getting different results. You should be saying, BMI correlates poorly to those outcomes in XYZ situation.

In the actual study they do exactly that.

The headline isn't doing any favors though.
