CNN.com just published my editorial on the value of Body Mass Index (BMI) as an indicator of obesity related health risks. The editorial comments on a recent paper my students and I wrote looking at the relative value of various anthropometric measures (BMI, Fat mass index, Fat-free mass index, Waist circumference, Waist-to-height ratio and Percent body fat) for predicting blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, HDL and LDL-cholesterol levels.
