  • サマリー

  • Having come across Dr. Jefferson Buchanan's article on Linkedin, host Helene Guillaume reached out to dig further into what's important for us to look at to quantify if we're "healthy".

    Lecturer in Human Movement Studies (Health and PE) Dr. Rachael Jefferson-Buchanan in the Charles Sturt University School of Education explores why it is still used despite its imperfections.

    It varies for everyone (ah, would be much easier if not! ;); but BMI was developed in 1832 by Belgian mathematician (not a doctor, nor a researcher in the field). It was based on European white men, and didn't take into account that a person's body fat also tends to vary depending on their sex, race, and ethnicity.

    There's a huge reliance on BMI to understand if the person is healthy; but if a person has a lot of muscle, they might be categorised as overweight.
