Any doctors here? Was thinking about this BMI bulls***, I don't think it accounts for like lifestyle and ratios or fat content. Like if two humans are same height, same weight but diff fat % and muscle % then what? feels like some bs assumptions there

For realllll? I had no idea, nut I remember he was like trying to connect nostr with medical somehow. But if he is that id a plot twist haaaa for me bonusssss. If so we can debate health subject and amethyst in one lolllll

That's why he's doing all that medical connections to amethyst because he's from the medical world.. I just don't know exactly what role he might just do the tech side of medical and not a doctor lol im not sure

BMI is not great, but it works for most people. For serious athletes, metrics like body fat percentage are more useful.

BMI is a rough generalization that somewhat works for the average person. Certainly doesn’t work well for the extremes and the professional athletes etc.

Even measuring it is difficult unless you plan on doing a float test.

Yeah definitely take it in the context of the overall patient. A jacked weightlifter with a high BMI wouldn’t be treated the same as a 4 ft tall % body fat morbid obese patient
