- Alex3917 8y agoAlmost definitely. I'm seeing this move toward pragmatism across medicine though. E.g. even my infant daughter is getting recommendations from her pediatrician that don't adhere strictly to the AAP or WHO guidelines.
- jtuente 8y agoUmm, isn't that why they're called guidelines instead of rules or laws? They're a generalized solution for the populace at large which may be adjusted for individuals as their needs differ. Comparatively, BMI is a guideline and body fat/cholesterol/activity levels/nutrition intake are the more important drivers to health that determine what changes need to be made for improvement.
