Obesitas diagnosticeras ofta genom mätning av BMI, men metoden har flera begränsningar. Forskare vid Lunds universitet och AstraZeneca visar att mätning av både kroppsfettprocent och midjemått bättre fångar risk för sjukdom jämfört med mätning av enbart BMI. På senare år har forskning visat att det finns flera begränsningar med mätning av enbart BMI när det gäller att bedöma mängden och fördelning
