Comment on YSK that there's a better index than the BMI to measure obesity called the Body Roundness Index
suburban_hillbilly@lemmy.ml 3 weeks agoThat’s because BMI is actually pretty good as a screening tool. It’s easy, simple, and pretty damn accurate when combined with an eyeball test. To the extent that it misclassifies people it is far more likely to underclassify obesity than overclassify. The people complaining just don’t want to hear it.
