Using BMI to measure obesity is like relying purely on line coverage to measure the quality of software testing. Why is this still the go to measure? Is it just the cost of other measurements?
- chownie 5y agoIn the vast majority of cases high BMI maps pretty directly to obesity, the number of bodybuilders hanging out in the obese and morbidly obese ranges is a vanishingly small number in comparison to those overweight. It's easier to just let the bodybuilders not take the shot - given that's their right anyway - than to use bodyfat % or some other measure as the prerequisite for boosters, even if those measures more specific they end up less accurate (hope I'm getting those terms right)
