Since obesity does not matter, who cares what measure you use? "when we look at objectively measured fitness determined by a maximal exercise test on a treadmill and objectively determined body composition, not self reported height and weight, or not even just body mass index but hydrostatic weighing to estimate percent fat, skin folds, waist circumference, we look at all of those things and the conclusion we come to again and again is that it is low fitness that is a much more important predictor of mortality than is body mass index, fat distribution, overall percent body fat." "In our analyses over and over again fitness wipes out the hazard associated with obesity." http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/healthreport/health-effects-of-exercise/3216368 http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/healthreport/he...
