Seems kind of unreasonable that one can go from "normal" to "obese" by putting on 10kg. Feels like that's just removing the entire overweight range.
The idea that 25 should be where obesity starts is frankly absurd.
- kazinator 4y agoWhy should there be a large overweight range of more than some 6-8 kg (for that 1.8 m height)? That just sounds like fat acceptance. 10 kg is like a toddler.
- xboxnolifes 4y agoWhy should there be a large obese range (80kg to infinity), but a tiny overweight range of 5kg? What is even the point of the overweight range in that context? It's not fat acceptance. Being overweight is still unhealthy.
- kazinator 4y agoWhen a parameter switches between radically different interpretations along its value range, it's sometimes useful to have a reasonable transition area to eliminate the abrupt change. You know, like a yellow light between green and red.
