> BMI was designed for population health
BMI was just observational data collected by a French statistician in Paris in the 18th century. It’s not even remotely scientific
It compares mass to surface area which is absurd since the volume of a shape increases faster than the surface area and mass = density * volume

I've posted links to meta-analyses on BMI as a predictor of various health outcomes. I'm not even coming close to scratching the surface on what is available.
