Researchers in Italy compared the tool to scans which provide an analysis of fat, muscle and bone in the body
The Body Mass Index (BMI) system may be misdiagnosing people as overweight or obese, according to a study.
Researchers in Italy compared the tool – which measures body fat based on height and weight – to scans providing an analysis of fat, muscle, and bone.
The study, published in the journal Nutrients, involved 1,351 adults referred to the University of Verona’s Department of Neurosciences, Biomedicine and Movement Sciences.
Do you think someone would do that? Misuse the BMI by applying it to an individual. Do you think someone would just lie on the internet? /s
