A group of 58 researchers is advocating for a new approach to measuring obesity, suggesting a shift from the traditional Body Mass Index (BMI) to a more nuanced understanding that includes adiposity and organ function. They propose categorizing obesity into preclinical and clinical stages, emphasizing the need for individualized assessments.
The researchers argue that obesity is a complex issue that should not be defined solely by weight or appearance but should consider metabolic health. They call for clinicians to evaluate excess body fat and its impact on health, moving beyond BMI to better diagnose and treat obesity as a chronic illness.
