Also, if you look at them and they don't look like a body builder and BMI > 30. I think you are likely safe.

BMI doesn’t include bone mass and density. If I weighed 140 lbs at 5’10 with my bone mass I would be a skeleton. I’m overweight but just saying

A lot of doctors definitely do operate that way unfortunately.

I’ve been reading new data on BMI. Regardless, focus on wellness rather than weight loss/BMI is more effective and motivating for the patient.

Throwing up our hands and not doing anything because the only tool we have is not perfect? Sounds like a great idea. We use BMI cuz it’s all we got!

Exactly can’t we literally just do studies to recognize the correct BMI ranges for different races?

Correlation is not causation. Why do medical professionals understand this in every realm except obesity?

If we go the path of everything is racist we aren’t going to be able to talk about anything anymore 😬😬😬😬

Lol right, but people are getting mad cause they got a BMI of 50 but it’s “just their genetics”

I feel like people hate on BMI as an excuse to ignore their own. The amount of data backing up BMI health correlations is absolutely overwhelming.

the problem is, many doctors *do* function thr way. maybe u don’t. but MANY do. maybe don’t need to throw away BMI, but the way its used must change

not to mention how hard it is to get data to calculate BMI. People would lose it if we had to use calipers instead of just weight/height.

the issue is that a lot of chronically ill and fat patients know from personal experience that actually a lot of doctors DO operate that way

🤷‍♀️I had three different doctors ignore that I needed treatment and sent me home to “lose weight” because of my BMI.

I have PCOS, and am obese. It took YEARS to get my doc to believe I had PCOS. My amenorrhea, and anovulatory cycles were chalked up to my weight....🥺

I see it all the time BMI 29 with all kinds of co morbidities and BMI of 35 and nothing is going on. It’s interesting

Ummmmm and the fact that the BMI was developed by a eugenicist?
