[quote=Anonymous]People don't like BMI because they don't like the answer the formula gives. Everyone is the exception for whom it does not apply, even though in 99% of the cases it is a very useful tool. In a hypothetical world, we could switch to metrics that are more instructive, yet hard to measure, and make those easier to measure. People would still not like the answer. Examples: 1) percentage body fat, or even more narrowly 2) visceral body fat. That's what this all boils down to.[/quote]
