US & European Research Raises Global Awareness For New Obesity Measurement

Another way for the sick care system to disempower the public by making people more reliant on them.

On Tuesday October 12 in Birmingham, UK, the 3-year clinical trials for the Body Volume Index (BVI) - a new measurement of obesity and its associated health risks -was launched as a potential long-term replacement for the Body Mass Index (BMI), it attracted widespread news reporting around the globe on BBC National News, UK national newspapers with national media reporting in China, Germany and India amongst others...

The Body Volume Index (BVI) is a risk indicator based on the distribution of a patient's weight and fat, body composition and shape, rather than body mass alone. BVI is quick and completely automated, using a 3D body scanner it focuses in particular on the volume of the abdomen, allowing for people who are incorrectly classified as being obese or overweight under BMI to be correctly assigned a risk indicator.

Dangerous crap.

If your BMI is higher than 24.9, the overwhelming likelihood is that you are too fat.

BMI is available to all and cheaper. Plus there is no need for an encounter with the sick care system.
