A new study compares body mass index (BMI) with body fat percentage and finds the latter is far more reliable in predicting ...

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.

During the evaluation of those with a persistent high BMI, defined as “normal BMI at an early age, increased in childhood and persistently increasing in later follow-up,” vs. those with stable ...

BMI is a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of their height in meters.. A BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese, while a BMI of 40 or above is considered severely obese. A ...

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, ...

An abnormal BMI in children - be it high or low - can now be associated with impaired lung function, but if their BMI is normalized before they reach adulthood, the impairment can be offset ...

BMI can tell us about the health of populations, but for the individual sitting in a primary care office, how their fat levels might be affecting organ function is much more telling. advertisement ...

An abnormal body mass index (BMI) in children -- whether high or low -- can be associated with impaired lung function, according to research on Monday. About 10 per cent people suffer from poor lung ...

Kenny Eliason/UNSPLASH.COM Children's body mass index, a measure of height and weight, can affect their future lung function, new research shows.
