I disagree. Weight loss doesn't automatically mean "healthier." Using vo2 as a metric of "health" would not be correct if weight loss is the sole attribution

Using vo2 as a metric of "health" would not be correct if weight loss is the sole attribution of vo2 gain.
One can lose weight without doing a minute of exercise and vo2 would increase.
If one is interested in getting healthier, I think it's well worth the time to learn about how the metrics work.
- rhplus 2y agoMy point is that for most adults in the world right now (western, industrialized, developing, modern, whatever) there is an obesity epidemic and any amount of focused self-care through exercise and diet will improve health outcomes. Eat less, exercise more. If an arbitrary metric on fitness tracker helps you reach that goal, then just do it.
