"30 years, that would make it 1980, but you went back to 1960 so they DID changed the standard." Everyone else can follow this. Why can't you? The standards were unprejudiced across the board whether they were applied between 1960 and 1980...or 1980 and 2010. The general results are the same. When you mentioned the standards had changed I agreed. But the change in measurement technique does not have any relevance to anything we discussed and is not in itself being disputed. As to the rest of your post...EXCELLENT! Great that researchers ands scientists are always trying to improve how we evaluate indicators of health management. "The medical establishment has generally acknowledged some major shortcomings of BMI." Even atomic clocks have shortcomings. And thoughtful people try to reduce shortcomings. Your article shows how this is done: by identifying them and suggesting improvements.
