You dont need the idiotic and vastly incorrct BMI to know being grossly overweight is detrimental to your long term health.

Well said SAM!!! I’m an old timer but I still exercise daily, with the ‘chores’ around the mountains up here, plus heart cardio machine work and light weights. I feel like a million bucks. Look younger, feel younger, stay younger.....Ya gotta work for it tho. The alternative is not pleasant.

Depending on BMI as a statistical tool always makes me wonder about the conclusions of any study. Kind of a garbage in garbage out thing. Although as you say obesity, lack of exercise and physical activity is an obvious health risk by both common sense and observational data.

BMI is a joke. If I hit my target I would literally be skin and bones. That said, obesity is a health issue especially in kids.
