Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Body mass index ranges are fundamentally established based on epidemiological correlations with disease risk and mortality outcomes.

The analysis

The retrieved papers routinely utilize BMI and related adiposity metrics to evaluate epidemiological correlations with mortality and disease states such as cardiovascular disease, reinforcing the premise that BMI thresholds derive from these population-level health associations.
