Is BMI still valuable in assessing health risks today? |
Body mass index: Has BMI outgrown its value in determining the health and associated risk factors of an individual or community? Health officials and academics agree it’s not a perfect system for measuring a person’s health, but many say it continues to have value after all this time.
Rebecca Mason, clinical nutrition manager: “You can’t find everything about someone’s health just based on their BMI. There might be a variety of other factors influencing that. It’s just a measure to get you started and figure out where some risks lie, because we do know some things are associated with that.”
COVID shed a light on Michigan's weight problem: In 2021, an estimated 35.2% of adult Michiganders were considered obese, which ranked 35th among the states and was higher than the national averages.
