News and current affairs
The average body mass index (BMI) of humans has been increasing in the post-World War II period, but especially since the 1980's, with the prevalence of obesity doubling in the past three decades.
The body mass index (BMI) has long been used in epidemiology, medicine, and nutritional sciences.
However, recent findings have cast doubt on the BMI's value.
For example, although the BMI is associated with fat mass in obese people, there is little or no association with that of normal or underweight individuals.
At any given BMI score, fat mass varies widely, and other variables, such as gender or age, further distort findings, with greater increases in fat mass per BMI unit seen in women and in the elderly.
Although recent studies suggest that high BMI scores do not necessarily increase risk of death, doctors find the BMI categories a useful basis for prevention and treatment.
Thus, studies of the genetics of obesity that are based on a relationship between certain genetic markers and the BMI are also meaningless.
In fact, the use of the BMI is likely to obscure our understanding of genetic effects on body weight.
This power may vary by population; and short and tall subjects with equal BMI scores, from the same population, may have a different body composition.
Further evidence supporting the use of body-composition analysis, rather than the BMI, comes from the metabolic heterogeneity observed within each BMI category.
And, though age, sex, ethnicity, waist circumference, physical activity, smoking, and alcohol consumption all correlate with metabolic phenotypes, the BMI is unable to distinguish between the two groups.
It would be unfair to say that the BMI has no clinical value; it can be a useful indicator of nutritional health in patients, and help doctors make day-to-day decisions about whom they should treat.
