Why Experts Want to Redefine Obesity | Vantage with Palki Sharma

[@luddity]

People in the most obese countries don't walk nearly enough because their cities are designed to discourage walking. Also, their food cultures are messed up, with people working such long hours they don't have time to cook at home and must rely on fast food and utter junk for their daily calories.

[@Liboch]

People in the US and China walk a lot. Many people in the US are fat, not so in China. Probably in the food.

Your body is your first and last home. Take care of it.

Pharma industry loves this ❤

[@javastream5015]

You need no formula to see if someone is thick! I became very obese by european standards (BMI 50), not by US (they are elephants 🐘). Reasons: - addiction to carbohydrates - depression It is disturbing much. Fortunately the blood levels are ok. Bot not the legs! Lymph problems! On the street I see young woman with 2x my BMI and 1/2 my age! They are ultra obese! 😱What is there going on?

[@WhoIsSheAnyway]

Some experts think that BRI (Body Roundness Index) is a better indicator than BMI.

[@Homiegonehomelander]

Nope waist to height ratio is far better. I am underweight when bri is taken and overweight with bmi. It's better taking ratio of waist to hip or waist to height to find body fat accumulation

[@pete0274]

They ain't gonna do shit about it as it is "good business" >> sells sugars, fast food and medication -all huge industries.

[@Liboch]

I am broad shouldered and stout. I casually told my cardiologist that I am overweight, but he said I am perfectly OK. But looking at my BMI he admitted that I am overweight but he said that's OK. 😂

[@Nash_utube]

We need robots, AI and junk fast food. Stress and obesity is inevitable 😂

Finally. With current BMI based definition Schwarzenegger was clinically obese when he became body building world champion. Nonsense.

[@AB-nv7bz]

Bad example. Being artificially enhanced is not good for the body. Pro bodybuilders experience similar issues to obese people. Now naturally building muscle and reducing bodyfat is good.

[@WhiteMage1972]

@@AB-nv7bz No. It was a good example. My post had nothing to do with being natural, artificial, good or bad. It was purely about the definition of BMI applied to a body builder who had a very low body fat % and classifying him obese. Or are you saying Schwarzenegger had a lot of body fat at the time he won his title?

[@stephen9906]

BMI is not taking seriously for many years now

[@SensibleApproach]

so up till now we were following BMI based on what exactly? Ans how come WHO & these so called experts couldn't figure out that it was a flawed technique until now?

[@sk-pg8zd]

trust science. change opinions every weekend

[@youngindiaintensivist7709]

The India guidelines, published in a paper in the journal Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome, Clinical Research and Reviews recently, Revised definition of obesity in Asian Indians living in India Anoop Misra a,b,c,*, Naval K. Vikram d, Amerta Ghosh a,b, Piyush Ranjan d, Seema Gulati b,c, and India Obesity Commission Members1 It would have been nice to mention this

[@frankchika4459]

BMI is simply an inaccurate determination of who is overweight or not. Take myself, for instance. I am a 5'8 very mascular guy weighing 78-80kg. I eat healthy and go to the gym twice a week. My body fat is less than 14 percent but my BMI is nearly 27, which means overweight. It's laughable for a person who is fit and muscular. BMI is deeply flawed.

[@joand2217]

Im perfectly normal. I look average weight physically. But my BMI is 31?🤔. I'm not anything close to being overweight physically

[@nam2168nam]

BMI, MBA... it's all becoming useless.

[@BatFreak-l1s]

in india its healthy...your shirts should fit perfectly and slp girls are trying to bulk up something to wear big blouse ..but whole body will increase its a chain reaction

Here in the U.S., we have fat people from all over the world moving here, driving up our country's obesity rate. No matter, I'm just glad I'm not obese to be made fun of.

[@youththeconfuse5549]

I am underweight 😢

[@R-elementals]

It's an energy imbalance ❤

[@charmaine8512]

This is because of stress, skipping breakfast, sitting around ordering food from out (no home cooked meals), affordable goodies (too good to be true), no time at home, gyms instead of outdoor walks. So much of food not meant to be grown in some countries_ forced farming. We need to go back to old fashioned farming and fishing not grown by Scientists. Never seen such odd fish _ eggs like stones in their gut, two spines and some weird shennanigans with this tech farming

[@s12_22g]

Agree with most, except skipping breakfast.

[@AB-nv7bz]

It’s a lazy way to look at someone’s health. No idea why this was the standard l, when a simple skinfold test is so much more accurate. It’s still not perfect but much better. The issue isn’t too many people are considered obese it’s under diagnosis. There are way more skinny fat people than outliers to bmi. I’m 5’10” 200. I would like to get leaner. I can do 14 slow, controlled, full hang, pull-ups. I’m obese per bmi. A 160lbs person who can’t do one is considered healthy. See the issue?
