🔵 BMI stands for Body Mass Index.

🔵 It is a score calculated taking a person's weight & height into account.

🔵 BMI in the range 18.5 & 24.9 is considered Normal.

🔵 Below this range is considered Underweight & above it is Overweight/Obese

🔵 BMI though very popular has its shortcomings

❌ It doesn't take body composition into account.

BMI cannot differentiate between Fat mass & Muscle mass. So for instance, if someone is muscular & heavy, BMI will still consider him as Obese.

❌ It doesn't take Age, Sex, Ethnicity into consideration.

❌ It gives no insight about a person's Metabolic health.

🔵 Metabolic health essentially depends on the kind of Fat that is stored in your body.

🔵 There are 2 kinds of Body Fat we store in the body:

▶️ Subcutaneous Fat
▶️ Visceral Fat

🔵 Subcutaneous fat is the fat that is deposited directly under the skin.

🔵 Visceral fat is the fat that accumulates inside & around organs such as the liver, kidneys, and intestines.

🔵 Visceral fat is more harmful than Subcutaneous fat.

🔵 Fat in the Liver especially effects your Metabolic health the most.

🔵 Those with more Visceral fat usually have a very protruding belly. It is also called Central Obesity.

🔵 Visceral Fat increases the risk of T2D, NAFLD, CVD etc considerably.

🔵 Indians & South Asians in general are genetically predisposed to having more Visceral than Subcutaneous fat.

🔵 This is why Indians generally have a Skinny fat or TOFI (Thin outside Fat inside) body type.

🔵 This is where BMI fails, people can have normal BMI, look decent from the outside, but suffer from NAFLD (Fatty liver), elevated Triglycerides & other Metabolic issues.

🔵 Insulin Resistance is the culprit!

🔵 Insulin resistance occurs at a lower body fat (non obese) for these populations.

🔵 This is why it is super important to go by Blood markers & not use BMI/Weight as the sole metric to evaluate your health.

🔵 "My ideal weight as per BMI is... so I need to get there" is the wrong approach.

🔵 But, it is without a doubt a very useful tool for screening basic health among General population.

🔵 Anyone above or below the range is almost definitely Unhealthy (it's not like there are lots of bodybuilders walking around).

🔵 Those in the range should use other metrics to access their health

✅ Fasting Insulin
✅ Triglyceride/HDL ratio
✅ HbA1C
✅ Waist/Height Ratio

Ghana and West Ham’s star-player, Mo Kudus says Tanzania is a travel destination on his list. Don’t be surprised to see Kuku in Tanzania soon. 🇹🇿😍

Amazing people. Lovely weather. Good food. Nice attraction. ❤️

I’ll say it again, Tanzania is a big country and everyone must at least make it a point to visit there. 👏
