What’s more useful than BMI? All you need to know about a 2000-year-old technique to measure body composition
Body Mass Index (BMI) has limitations as it doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat, leading to misclassification of obesity. A suggested alternative is calculating body fat percentage through Archimedes' principle using underwater weighing, offering a more precise health indicator, despite being less practical than BMI.
