The document criticizes the BMI (Body Mass Index) as an inaccurate and misleading measure of health and obesity for several reasons: 1. The BMI was created in the 19th century as a population-level measure, not an individual health indicator, and its creator warned against using it for individuals. 2. It ignores factors like muscle mass and waist size that impact health. As a result, many fit and athletic people are misclassified as overweight or obese. 3. Continued reliance on the BMI means better, more accurate methods of measuring obesity are not utilized. The document argues the BMI is an outdated and "unscientific" measure that should not be used to advise individuals on health and weight
