A group of 58 researchers is calling for a new, better way to measure obesity and excess body fat that goes beyond BMI. Here's what they recommend using instead.
An abnormal BMI in children – be it high or low – can now be associated with impaired lung function, but if their BMI is normalised before they reach adulthood, the impairment can be offset, ...
