    Sure but often the call on wether a persons bmi is healthy or not comes down to a doctor. A clearer and more objective metric would leave less room for subjective bias amoung examiners. POC people already deal with a lot of that bias from doctors anyways

      no one other than a health professional (dietician, doctor, etc) should be taken seriously on health related matters.
