There may be a more effective way to define and diagnose obesity, according to a commission of scientists that proposed a major change regarding the metabolic disease. Body mass index (BMI), a calculated measure of height related to weight,

The article from MSN discusses the potential replacement of the Body Mass Index (BMI) as a standard measure of health due to its limitations and controversies. BMI, which calculates body fat based on height and weight, has been criticized for not accounting for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition, leading to misclassification of health status in many individuals. Recent discussions, highlighted by the American Medical Association's (AMA) acknowledgment, suggest moving towards more comprehensive methods like body adiposity index, body composition, relative fat mass, waist-to-hip ratio, and waist circumference. These alternatives aim to provide a more accurate assessment of health risks associated with body fat distribution and overall body composition, rather than just weight. The shift is part of a broader recognition that health cannot be accurately measured by a single metric, especially one as simplistic as BMI.
