- listenallyall 3y ago"Politically correct" in 2024 is neither - it's telling people their body is healthy and beautiful no matter what shape it is actually in.
- paulpauper 3y agoI was one of those ppl who thought the BMI was wrong, and as I approached normal weight I was surprised at just how much fat I had lost or had been carrying. No, I did not have a Hugh Jackman physique after losing that weight. Exceptions to the BMI are few and far in-between. The vast majority of ppl are not powerlifters, bodybuilders, or have abnormally thick skeletons.
- strken 3y agoBMI is wrong, but unfortunately it's wrong because it overestimates the number of healthy people. See https://www.researchgate.net/figure/BMI-versus-body-fat-percentage-classification-of-obesity_fig1_312259157 https://www.researchgate.net/figure/BMI-versus-body-fat-perc... from a study of the Greek population and note how many people are in each quadrant.
