Is BMI a good measure of health?
A quick aside on BMI: The body mass index, or BMI, which is calculated from height and weight (specifically weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters), is the standard when it comes to describing body composition from a scientific perspective. While there are obvious limitations to this measurement for individuals (the classic paradox of the ultra-lean body builder who has an obese BMI, or someone who is “overfat” with a normal BMI), it’s a pretty good scientific tool for representing the average body composition of a group. In addition, many of the studies I’m referencing in this video series use secondary measures like waist-to-hip ratio, body fat percentage, body fat mass, or waist circumference.
