Scientists Suggest New Way to Help Measure Obesity Instead of Just Using Traditional BMI Metric
Beyond BMI: global commission proposes new way to diagnose obesity
Scientists have come up with a new way to measure obesity. They’re saying the body mass index, or BMI, just isn’t enough anymore. So instead, they’re suggesting we look at belly fat. More than 50 experts published their findings in The Lancet, and they’re saying measuring waste site or using scans can actually give a better indication of health risks. Doctor Kushner, an endocrinologist, explains that fat in the belly causes systemic inflammation leading to other metabolic problems. Now, the report also introduces two new obesity categories, clinical and preclinical. This chain aims to better target those who need help and improve health outcomes globally.
