Is BMI the Best Tool to Determine Healthy Weight?
Body Mass Index is thus the ratio to body weight (measured in kilograms) to height (measured in meters). It is a simple numerical measurement that enables the classification of people on the basis of their body composition.

The NHS is bizarre
What is going on? I’ve already come to the conclusion that NHS psychiatric care is extremely extremely messed up so I won’t bother writing about that.
My dad had a health scare this week. He collapsed twice at home and my family called an ambulance. They declared it a ‘freak blood pressure event’ and said no A and E but an emergency doctor would come the next morning. (Thankfully he tells me he’s been fine ever since. Also he happens to be due for routine cardiology stuff today so if it’s that it could be ruled out).
Before the emergency doctor came our local GP practice diagnosed him with pre-diabetes and signed him up for a diet coaching app. The app asked for his height and weight and told him he was very obese and to cut out all of his food staples. The emergency doctor checked his vitals including BM and said he definitely wasn’t pre-diabetic, he was perfectly healthy. He also took his weight and despite it being the same as usual said my dad was far from being obese and the app made no sense. What in the lying/scaremongering/over diagnosing/ diet-culture app advertising heck is going on? This system angers and scares me more every day.
Yesterday my dad celebrated his new found normality by eating porridge. Good for him. It’s his favourite but the app banned it.
#p.s. I make sure to check my bmi when they weigh me here because oh dear I’m obsessive like that.#yesterday they accidentally showed me all the notes (inc everyone else’s weights) and they calculated my bmi as being completely different#are they using a new non standard formula#have they got my height very wrong?#nhs#nhs nightmare#the nhs is dying#healthcare#uk

A tip calculator is a tool used to determine the amount of tip to be paid for a service, such as a restaurant meal or taxi ride. The tool takes into account the total cost of the service and the desired tip percentage to calculate the amount of tip to be paid.

America Medical Association is acknowledging that measuring health and weight by BMI alone is racist, encourages eating disorders, and is an incorrect measurement of weight and health. And it's pushing doctors to no longer base health on BMI alone.
I think the only thing that would make this better is if the AMA acknowledged that the BMI was created by a mathematician, not a doctor.
BMI is derived from a simple math formula created in the 1830s by Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet, a Belgian astronomer, mathematician, statistician, and sociologist.
And if the AMA pushed insurance companies as well as doctors.

hey I just want it to be clear to everypony, living creatures are not just math formulas where you can plugin values and get exact numbers. And the fact they used the fucking BMI is laughable cuz the bmi is pretty bullshit on its own. I realize i am being so pedantic cuz this is on a post about fucking chilchuck but like, this isn't how drugs and alcohol or even just food works!

TL;DR: BMI was meant as a measure of trends across populations not individuals, its assumption is that everyone is a white male Western European, its very formula was designed to graph well rather than anything scientific, and the cutoffs for overweight & obesity are completely arbitrary. This article does a great job of thoroughly explaining in simple language why BMI is such garbage.

Fuck no.
Have you heard about the new BMI calculator? Basically the old calculation used a formula that made it go way out if you're on the taller or shorter end of the scale. Essentially "short people are misled into thinking they are thinner than they actually are, and tall people conversely believe they are fatter".
I'm so much fatter than I thought I was.
Fuck no.

Have you ever wondered what's the mass of our friendly Steve ?
Well what I could tell you is that he for sure weighs more than some random apples but how heavy is he actually because as we discussed Steve's height in a previous post, let's now figure out his mass.
(yeah I said mass not weight because weight is in this case the force of attraction exercised between Steve at Earth's surface level and Earth's core level which is different)
The topic has already been thought out in the article thereafter:
However I strongly disagree with it assuming blocks' voxels' (3D pixels in Minecraft) dimensions are equivalent to Steve's voxels' ones when stating that Steve weighs 342 kg (754 lbs).It's just not necessarily true, in fact a mob's voxels' dimensions are subjective.
First off, we know Steve is 1.875 m (6'2") tall and measures 32 of his voxels in height that we'll shorten as svx (Steve voxel(s)) as of now for the sake of simplification.
With this out of the way, we have to find Steve's total body volume, to proceed we can notice Steve's character model could be viewed as 2 rectangular parallelepipeds & 1 cube attached all together :p .
This means means that we'd have to sum every 3 volumes to find out Steve's total body volume.
To proceed we can display some 3D axes non orthonormed for each volume to get a clear sight of what we're trying to measure as such:
Now as you might think, it's indeed a bit tough to clearly count voxels so let's make the task easier by counting voxels on a modified Steve skin:
Here are the results:
Thus Steve's total body volume corresponds to :
Now keep in mind that a svx equates :
which is about :
Finally we can translate Steve's total volume in cubic meters :
Furthermore, since Steve is a very athletic character (he jumps all the time, run all the time, looks healthy & is most certainly not average at all) we'll assume his body fat percentage to be approximately 10%.
After asking a few stupid questions to ChatGPT AI we're gonna assume Steve's body density is similar to an average low body fat, athletic (and ripped ofc x] ) male body density whose value is 1120 g/m^3.
As a result, manoeuvering the density formula gives a way to calculate Steve's mass :
Basically this guy is huge in every direction lol, his BMI is tremendously over 30 BUT we cannot necessarily say that he is morbidly obese because he does not look like it and if we were to make any judgement, those must be based off of Minecraft's world properties not of our world's...
Sidenote: Don't try to sue me for not getting the significant figures right, I purposefully let more decimal places to show how results really go.

As Humss student, how can you uphold physical fitness in influencing the future.
I am a HUMSS student in Iligan Capitol College, Basic Education. You can encourage physical fitness by planning activities and supporting physical activities. Use your knowledge to emphasize the importance of holistic health in shaping a healthier future. Also, as a HUMSS student I will explore more knowledges about physical fitness and share it to our younger fellow students so they can know more about physical fitness and it’s importance. It can also be advantage for us in the future and make a good and healthy lifestyle.
Why Physical Fitness is important?
• Save money - you can reduce your risk for certain disease such as heart disease and diabetes through reducing risky behaviors and living a healthy lifestyle.
• Increase your life expectancy - studies have shown that regular physical activity increases life expectancy and reduces the risk of premature mortality. There’s not a magic formula that translates hours of physical activity into hours of life gained, but research suggests that people who are more active tend to be healthier and tend to live longer.
• Improve your quality of life - exercise has been shown to improve mood and mental health, and provides numerous health benefits. Of course physical fitness also allows you to do things that you may not otherwise be able to do.
To put it simply, physical activity and exercise is important for everyone. Children, adolescents, and adults of all ages need regular physical activity. Physical activity promotes good health, and you should stay active throughout all stages of your life regardless of your body type or BMI.
Understanding the benefits of physical fitness and knowing how active you should be can help you maintain good health and improve your overall quality of life. Here are a few benefits of regular physical activity that demonstrate the importance of physical fitness.
HERE ARE FEW EXAMPLES OF PHYSICAL FITNESS ACTIVITIES :
• HIKING/JOGGING
• YOGA/MEDITATING
• SPORTS AND MANY MORE….
That’s all, thank you for reading! Keep safe and Keep Healthy.

Oh my fucking gosh I cannot with “medical” / weight and “obesity” research sometimes.
We all know how BMI is a very indirect measure of fatness, doesn’t tell most of the story, and is primarily used because it’s cheap, easy, and insurance likes the numbers? Well there is ongoing research about alternatives for estimating “fatness” and many people talk about body fat percent.
Anyway, I get an email from Medscape today with a headline basically saying that BMI is shit because it *underestimates* “obesity.” So I click into it, hoping to get links to actual research, but it’s basically just paraphrasing a dude at a conference who states that when we use DEXA (an x-ray test that can measure adiposity to about 1%), like 3/4 of US adults are “obese,” including over half of people with BMIs under 30 and like 43% of people with “normal” BMIs.
Of course, the Medscape article doesn’t say what cutoff values (if going solely by body fat%) or other criteria were used to determine “obesity.”
There is a general idea that for men, body fat of >25% is “obese” and for women, 33% is he typical cutoff value (some will say 30%, others will say 30-32% is like “overweight” but not “obese”). I was curious, do we have actual research that indicates health concerns specifically increase at these values? Where did we get these values?
I didn’t do any real literature review or large search, but I attempted to find a source cited in some of the references online and found this lovely article from the AJCN from 2000 (Gallagher et al).
Specifically look at the last sentence under “results.”
Basically this is saying values not because they were correlated on health risk but because THEY CORRELATED WITH BMI. Reading into it further, it looks like they took *relatively healthy people who do not exercise vigorously* specifically with BMIs under 35, plotted DEXA body fat % against BMI, did a regression formula, and then calculated the “typical” or estimated body fat% based on BMI. There is significant variation, but based on their regression model, a white woman or Black woman with a BMI of 25 would have a body fat% of around 33.
And this is the source I’m seeing people cite to say that 33% body fat is clinically obese in women??
“BMI is bullshit so let’s use body fat%” *proceeds to use cut off values based entirely on BMI*??

Guys this is THE weight loss formula. Also metabolism differentials will likely change fasting weight loss, this depends on your weight, sex, bmi, ect

guardando dr house, e ancora una volta la dieta culture dimostra come non si riesca a vedere oltre il peso e il BMI di una persona, una formula elaborata da un matematico come l'area del trapezio che dovrebbe dire se sono sana oppure no. io che a 10 anni pesavo 60kg, a 15 avevo sviluppato un dca e 50kg il mio BMI sempre nella norma, a 18 capisco che per il mio corpo 55kg è ok a 26 picco a 70kg ma tranquilli il BMI è ok.

BMI Calculation Formula Explained
BMI stands for body mass index, and this is one of the anthropometric measurements that nurses collect or calculate during health assessments, along with other measurements such as skinfold thickness, height, weight, and so on.
BMI scores are often used to screen for potential health problems, so it can be useful to know how to calculate BMI manually via the BMI math formula.
