– Why do doctors care so much about your BMI when it’s has been proven to be such a flawed metric for ones actual health?
In: 0
It is a metric a doctor can reference, because just telling a patient they are fat doesn’t seem to go too well. It sounds judge. For most people BMI is a pretty good guideline, but it does breakdown for a minority of people in certain types of body categories. Many people who dislike BMI simply like the anti fat shaming rhetoric which tells people it’s ok to be obese as long as they are confident.
