Perfect is the enemy of great. Oh no BMI gives weird results for 2% of the population, who by the way are acutely attuned to their bodies, so let's throw the whole thing out. Health professionals need a polite way to start obesity conversations with patients and BMI gives them that. When you focus on the very narrow shortcomings of BMI you actually harm obese people by giving them a reason to disregard concrete measurements of their obesity. |
