US obesity 'higher than thought' -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Apr 3, 06:16 15
- Wait, they are saying BMI might understate obesity? I think BMI overstates it in a lot of cases. - ty97 Apr 3, 06:54 13
  - calling a 24 BMI obese for women is bugfuck insane. sorry, doctors. -- nm - TFox Apr 3, 06:58 7
    - I think you need 30 to be 'obese' rather than 'overweight' at 25 for both genders? But I get your point. -- nm - ty97 Apr 3, 07:00 4
      - not according to that article and the conclusions of those researchers. -- nm - TFox Apr 3, 07:00 3
        
        I think they might be including overweight in the obese category, but the point stands. - ty97 Apr 3, 07:01 2
        
        A more appropriate cut-point for obesity with BMI is 24 for females and 28 for males." -- nm - TFox Apr 3, 07:03 1
        
        (which would make you "overweight" at like a 20.) -- nm - TFox Apr 3, 07:03
    - obese? not even just 'overweight'? that's pretty crazy, yeah. -- nm - Andie Apr 3, 06:58 1
      - "By our cut-offs, 64.1% or about 99.8 million American women are obese," they said. - TFox Apr 3, 07:00
  - my issue with BMI is that women and men are based equally. there should be adjusted scale based on the muscle mass difference between men and women. -- nm - Andie Apr 3, 06:56 3
    - (however, i think if BMI says you are 'obese' and you aren't muscle bound, making excuses for it is exactly that - an excuse.) - Andie Apr 3, 06:57 2
      - obese (30+) yeah. Overweight (25+) is an issue area though -- nm - ty97 Apr 3, 07:02 1
        
        oh there are issues. but i think a lot of out of shape people with higher BMIs use the questions to justify their weight when they shouldn't. - Andie Apr 3, 07:05
