It's going to take a lot of time for the consensus to actually move towards the use of more specific measurement tools [for weight-related conditions],” Anekwe says. In the interim, then, getting your tape measure out is likely the most accurate — and cheapest — guide to what your weight means for your health.


Margaret Ashwell has been writing about this, repeatedly, since at least 2005!

Thursday at my wellness exam my height, weight and BMI were all calculated to the 100ths of units ..BMI 22.62 ..as if that .62 would make it more accurate The exam chair automatically weighed me… No one in US is changing BMI anytime soon after that equipment expense!
