As somebody who is not familiar with medical research, can anyone tell me why the authors mention the BMI here at all? As far as I understand, the BMI is an indispensable metric for statistics on large populations. However, in a case study involving only a single individual, it seems to me that other markers such as body fat percentage for example, would be a better choice making the BMI more or less meaningless.
