Actually, weight and height are very good indicators of general health. Anyway, the information it gives is already more than appears to be in use.

There's no need for blood work to spot the obese three year old kid at day care who is well on the road to juvenile Type II diabetes. The poor girl is wider than she is tall. A simple BMI metric and the Dr. should be able to tell the parents they need to lay off the carbs.
