There are some other interesting bits in this review.
The rest of the title is "— Though clear link seen for BMIs of 30 and above". And article is above an enormous ad and warnings for Ozempic, What else?
Quote:
Individuals with overweight had slightly higher rates of comorbidities compared with the reference group, including higher rates of diabetes (6-9% vs 4%, respectively), hypertension (26-32% vs 20%), and myocardial infarction (MI; 3.4-3.9% vs 2.6%). Adults with class I obesity (BMI of 30-34.9) had approximately triple the rates of diabetes (13%) and nearly double the rates of MI (4.2%) and hypertension (39%) compared with the reference group.

Since 1850, the BMI was designed to be a statistical, population based index, not to be a medical diagnostic for an individual.
But if you look at BMI based on the hazard ratios of a population study of 3.6 million, then BMI has some validity.

I knowingly misuse BMI as my goal, but my healthcare system uses it and studies of breast cancer recurrence do too. I don’t think my risk of specific mortality outcomes follow the graphs lines in this article, but it is better than nothing. as this article suggests, best to use other measures for an individual, so I keep waist to height ratio at or below .5 and BG below 100, and BMI 22.
