Are you really healthy? Not BMI, here's what science says you should measure

//health-fitness.news-articles.net/content/2025/ .. here-s-what-science-says-you-should-measure.html

Published in Health and Fitness on Monday, January 6th 2025 at 10:03 GMT by Indiatimes
^{🞛 This publication is a summary or evaluation of another publication 🞛 This publication contains editorial commentary or bias from the source}

BMI has traditionally been used to measure health but can be misleading, particularly for athletes. A recent study suggests VO2 max, which measures ox

The article from Times of India discusses the limitations of using Body Mass Index (BMI) as a sole indicator of health. It highlights that while BMI has been a standard measure for categorizing weight, it does not account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition, leading to potential misclassifications. Instead, the article suggests looking at other metrics for a more comprehensive health assessment:

Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR): This measures body fat distribution, which is crucial as abdominal fat is linked to higher risks of heart disease and diabetes.

Body Fat Percentage: This gives insight into the proportion of fat in the body, which BMI does not differentiate from muscle or bone.

Blood Pressure: High blood pressure can indicate cardiovascular issues even in individuals with normal BMI.

Cholesterol Levels: Important for understanding heart health, as high levels of bad cholesterol can lead to artery blockages.

Blood Sugar Levels: Monitoring this can help detect prediabetes or diabetes early.

Fitness Levels: Physical fitness, including cardiovascular endurance, strength, and flexibility, provides a functional measure of health.

The article emphasizes that health is multifaceted, involving not just weight but overall metabolic, cardiovascular, and physical fitness indicators.
