Excessively high or low body mass index measurements have been linked to an increased risk of dying from nearly every major cause except transport accidents, new research says.
The study, published Wednesday in The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology and conducted by scientists at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, revealed that BMI that's either too high or too low is tied to increased morbidity from a range of major diseases.
Whilst it is no doubt true that if you are obese or anorexic you may well not be in the best of health, to use BMI as a measure of obesity or anorexia is bollocks.
There are far better ways to determine if someone is obese/anorexic eg:
- commonsense
- gut size
- bones poking through the skin etc
Relying on BMI will lead to false results!
