Sun Health Explainer: Fat jabs
MILLIONS more Brits could be offered weight loss jabs for free on the NHS under proposals to overhaul the BMI system.
"Moreover, the indications for using the different therapeutic approaches now available for obesity management remain mostly based on anthropometric measurements, rather than on a more complete clinical evaluation of the individual."The study authors called for the way we diagnose obesity - and thus the requirement of reaching a BMI of 30 or more to be given obesity drugs - to be overhauled.
Abdominal fat is most accurately measured with an MRI, but WHtR is often used. This is your waist measurement divided by your height.
