What’s Wrong With BMI – Sanjay Gupta – Everyday Health
One out of three American adults is obese, and childhood obesity has more than doubled in the past 30 years. It’s an epidemic with very serious health risks, from heart disease to diabetes to cancer. It’s also taking an incredible financial toll: Studies have put the national healthcare cost of obesity at over $190 billion a year.Behind these staggering figures are measurement tools that the medical community uses to determine who is at risk.
