Redefining how we diagnose and treat obesity
Manage episode 462973145 series 2462950
How should obesity be defined? For a long time we’ve relied on the body mass index (BMI).
But that blanket approach means some people are being treated unnecessarily.
It also contributes to the sometimes harmful assumption that everyone who is overweight is inherently unhealthy.
A commission of experts has changed the criteria for a person to be considered clinically obese, meaning they require intervention.
