In der Türkei werden Menschen auf offener Straße auf die Waage gebeten. Die Aktion des Gesundheitsministeriums soll dabei helfen, Übergewicht in der Bevölkerung zu bekämpfen. Liegt der Body-Mass-Index über einem bestimmten Wert, wird nämlich automatisch eine kostenlose Ernährungsberatung angeboten. Ob ähnliche Maßnahmen auch in Deutschland – etwa unter Kanzler Merz oder Schattenkanzler Söder – denkbar wären?

In this powerful episode of Her Best SELF podcast, we dismantle the widely misused BMI scale and reveal why this outdated measurement has no place in your recovery journey. Learn the problematic origins of BMI, the scientific evidence against its validity, and discover more meaningful ways to understand health and healing while navigating eating disorder recovery. What You'll Learn: The surprising origin story of BMI (it wasn't created by health professionals!) Scientific studies proving BMI is an inaccurate measure of individual health Why BMI disproportionately harms certain populations and body types Better alternatives for understanding your body's health during recovery Practical tips for responding when healthcare providers focus on BMI How releasing attachment to numbers supports lasting recovery Research Mentioned: International Journal of Obesity study on metabolic health markers Journal of the American Medical Association research on BMI and mortality rates University of Pennsylvania research on ethnic differences in body composition Quotes from the Episode: "Your body is not a math problem to be solved. Your worth is not determined by where you fall on a chart created for 19th-century population statistics." "True health is about how your body functions, not how you measure against an arbitrary mathematical formula." Recovery Action Step: The next time someone tries to reduce your health to a BMI number, remember the science backing why this measurement is fundamentally flawed. Practice responding with confidence about your commitment to more meaningful health markers in your recovery.

Michael chats with Antoine Robiliard, leader of Withings Health Solutions, the B2B division of Withings. Together, they discuss recent analysis and findings related to body mass index (BMI), how body composition is being used in obesity care today, how obesity care will evolve, the role of connected devices in the obesity care space, and much more.

Lester Kiewit speaks to Registered Dietitian Marie Macgregor from the Sports Science Institute of South Africa (SSISA) about the growing debate around Body Mass Index (BMI) and its effectiveness in measuring obesity. While BMI has been a standard tool for decades, experts argue that it overlooks crucial factors like muscle mass, fat distribution, and metabolic health. Marie unpacks the latest research and alternative approaches that offer a more accurate picture of overall health.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Übergewicht wird meist durch den Body-Mass-Index – kurz BMI – bestimmt. Doch der gilt als umstritten. Experten schlagen andere Messwerte vor. Die Ärztin und Leiterin der Pädiatrischen Adipositas- und Lipidambulanz an der Charité in Berlin, Prof. Susanna Wiegand, erklärt, warum das sinnvoll ist und wo Probleme auftreten können. Außerdem geht es um die Frage: Warum essen wir heutzutage hauptsächlich orange Karotten? Das war nämlich nicht immer so. "Aha! Zehn Minuten Alltags-Wissen" ist der Wissenschafts-Podcast von WELT.

Dark ideas and stigma around different body sizes really took hold in the Enlightenment.Very unenlightened, if you ask us.This started all sorts of awful movements, and one result was BMI - or Body Mass Index - which is still used as a measure of health by doctors today.What even is the BMI? Why are women and people of colour particularly affected by these harmful ideas? And what's the future of fatphobia and BMI?Joining Kate is the fantastic Amy Farrell, professor of women's, gender and sexuality studies at Dickinson College and author of Fat Shame: Stigma and the Fat Body in American Culture, to take us back to the dark origins of BMI and fatphobia.This episode was edited by Tom Delargy and produced by Stuart Beckwith.

Sarah Cox was told by her doctor to lose weight because her BMI, or Body Mass Index, was too high. But the consequences of her doctor's weight loss plan left the 35-year-old sick and hospitalised, as she battled an eating disorder for two-and-a-half years. Now, there is renewed scrutiny of the use of B-M-I as a measure of an individual's health. The tool has been used by doctors for more than 50 years to measure an individual's body fat, after it was first created in the 1830s by a Belgian mathematician [[Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet]] who was not a doctor or a health practitioner. More evidence has since emerged about its efficacy - and a group of experts from around the globe are proposing new definitions of obesity that consider a spectrum for how excess fat may or may not impact an individual's health. In this episode of Weekend One on One Catriona Stirrat speaks to Sarah Cox about how her doctor's reliance on BMI led to the frightening deterioration of her mental and physical health - and the changes she is calling for when it comes to improving health care for people with larger bodies. - سارہ کاکس کو ان کے ڈاکٹر نے وزن کم کرنے کے لیے کہا تھا کیونکہ ان کا بی ایم آئی، یا باڈی ماس انڈیکس بہت زیادہ تھا۔ لیکن ان کے ڈاکٹر کے وزن میں کمی کے منصوبے کے نتیجے میں 35 سالہ سارہ نہ صرف بیمار ہوگئیں بلکہ اس پلان نے انہیں ہسپتال کے بستر تک پہنچا دیا۔ ، کیونکہ وہ ڈھائی سال تک کھانوں سے لڑتی رہیں۔ اب، کسی فرد کی صحت کی پیمائش کے طور پر B-M-I کے استعمال کی نئے سرے سے جانچ پڑتال کی جا رہی ہے۔ اس پیمانے کو کو ڈاکٹر 50 سال سے زیادہ عرصے سے کسی فرد کے جسم کی چربی کی پیمائش کرنے کے لیے استعمال کر رہے ہیں۔

This week, a group of researchers have called for doctors to stop using the Body Mass Index, or BMI, to define obesity. It's a measurement system that's been around since the 1830s, but now experts say it might be doing more harm than good. In today's episode, Sam and Zara break down why this matters and what could replace it. Hosts: Sam Koslowski and Zara SeidlerProducer: Orla Maher Want to support The Daily Aus? That's so kind!

Felicity Jones has been nominated for a Best Supporting Actress BAFTA for her role in The Brutalist, in which she plays Erzsébet, a Hungarian journalist who emigrates to the US in the late 1950s to join her architect husband. She joins Anita Rani to discuss her portrayal of this complex character and the other memorable roles she's taken on, from Ruth Bader Ginsberg to Jane Wilde Hawking.A new report by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Eating Disorders highlights what they are calling ‘widespread neglect' in services across the UK. They have found that patients in some areas have been discharged with a Body Mass Index of lower than 15 - which is associated with substantially increased mortality. To discuss the findings of the report Anita is joined by the Chair of the APPG, Vera Hobhouse MP and Hope Virgo, Secretariat of the APPG and campaigner, who has recovered fully from an eating disorder herself.More people in their late 20s are still living with their parents – it's up by more than a third in nearly two decades according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies. Men are also more likely than women to stay in the family home, with 23% of 25-34 year old men living with their parents compared to 15% of women the same age. We speak to mum of four and counsellor Lucy Cavendish who has three adult children living at home, and Associate Professor and family therapist Dr Hannah Sherbersky.

In this episode of the Help Me Understand podcast, JK discusses the limitations of Body Mass Index (BMI) as a health indicator.

First Ben and Celestia discuss the LA fires (and a few of the many, many conspiracy theories already cropping up), and remember Jimmy Carter's clear-headed skepticism and humanitarianism. Then, since it's January and we're all trying to work on self-improvement, we talk about BMI -- which happens to be in the news this week for what turns out to be not really news. The Body Mass Index began almost two hundred years ago as a pet project by a Belgian statistician, but has evolved into one of the most accessible health metrics around. The average American can assess their BMI at home, for free, with the only inconvenience being having to use the metric system. Many of the criticisms of BMI as a tool are what Ben categorizes as straw man attacks, and he explains how doctors and public health officials use the metric. Along the way, we see many parallels with how people fail to think skeptically (or understand how metrics work) and end up losing faith in medical science on a greater scale.

Um wie viel die Löhne steigen ist Verhandlungssache von Unternehmen und Angestellten. Bei der Post konnten sich die beiden Seiten nicht einigen. Für die Gewerkschaften ein Armutszeugnis, für die Post hingegen Teil des üblichen Prozesses. Wie weiter?

So soll auch der Asylantrag wieder in Mexiko gestellt werden und nicht mehr nach der Einreise in den USA. Wie bereitet sich Mexiko auf Trump vor? Um herauszufinden, ob jemand krankhaft übergewichtig ist, stützen sich Diagnosen meist auf den Body-Mass-Index, den BMI. Allerdings sagt der BMI nichts darüber aus, wie der Körper zusammengesetzt ist. Deshalb setzt sich nun eine internationale Kommission von Fachleuten in Zukunft dafür ein, dass hier genauer hingeschaut wird.

Über das Thema Übergewicht reden heute wieder viele – eine Gruppe von Fachleuten hat jetzt nämlich gesagt: Wir müssen das Thema anders angehen und für die Diagnose nicht nur wie bisher auf den Body-Mass-Index schauen. Wie es besser laufen könnte, darüber sprechen im SWR3-Topthema.

Global health leaders are calling for a new way of thinking about how obesity is defined, proposing two new categories, clinical obesity and pre-clinical obesity and moving beyond Body Mass Index as a key indicator.

If you're not sure where to focus your health efforts, or you think you know the best way to address your primary concern, tune in! Have you heard about the Eight Domains of Health? Which three areas should you prioritize to make the most significant impact on your health journey? How can you tell if the changes you're making are truly working?In this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn dives deep into the Eight Domains of Health, unraveling the layers of wellness that go beyond simple diet and exercise. She covers the essential systems that contribute to lasting wellness, from the intricacies of digestion as a whole-body experience to the often-overlooked role of detoxification, hormone balance, and cardiovascular health. Jenn also explains the importance of body composition, cognitive health, and the crucial need for quality sleep to create a foundation for healthy aging. Whether you're looking to prioritize these domains or are wondering if your efforts are paying off, Jenn provides practical insights and tips for creating a balanced health journey. She also highlights the three key domains to focus on as you begin your wellness journey. OH! And don't miss next week's episode on epigenetic testing, where she'll discuss how to determine your biological age!The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: [02:38] Exploring the 8 Domains of Health[07:32]  Digestion - the whole body experience[12:16] Toxins need to go[19:39] Endocrine System: what are our hormones up to[25:07] Weight and body composition: is BMI BS[30:34] Fitness: how it helps determine longevity[35:53] Cardiovascular health: it's plumbing, electrical, circulation and oxygenation throughout the body[40:29] Cognitive Function - Let's think about it[43:06] Sleep - Don't underestimate it. Stress disrupts all eight domains of health[47:08] How should you tackle this pyramid of “Domains” [1:00:45] Right before Thanksgiving, Nutrition Nugget will be all about giving and gratitudeKEY TAKEAWAYS: Digestion is a full-body process, from your mouth to your intestines. Symptoms like bloating or indigestion reflect how well your digestive system is functioning. Lifestyle choices, including diet, affect digestion and gut health. A balanced system requires attention to all aspects of digestion.Health should be measured by body composition and muscle strength, not BMI. Lean muscle and balanced fat are better indicators of health. Nutrition, blood sugar balance, sleep, stress management, and fitness support a healthy body composition and overall wellness.Muscle mass and fitness are critical for longevity, supporting joint health, balance, and resilience. Strength training reduces joint strain and boosts cardiovascular and brain health. A well-rounded fitness routine, including strength, aerobic, and balance exercises, is essential for health and independence as we age.Sleep is essential for overall health, serving as the "ultimate biohack" for body and mind. Quality sleep supports detoxification, recovery, hormone balance, cognitive function, and more. Prioritizing sleep can lead to noticeable improvements across multiple areas of health, reinforcing its critical role in wellness.QUOTES: [10:14] “Christine and I have a mentor who says the road to health is paved with good intestines. Your GI tract is your immune system, nutrient absorption, and gut-brain connection.” Jenn Trepeck [12:44] “You can't age well if you can't detox well.” Jenn Trepeck[30:59] “Muscle is expensive tissue because you have to work for it. But I think your muscle mass is your longevity lever. I think the less muscle we have, the faster we age.” Jenn Trepeck[35:59] “Regarding cardiovascular health, most doctors look at cholesterol and blood pressure numbers, which are all plumbing. I think the pieces that get overlooked are the electrical pieces of the heart.” Jenn Trepeck[48:36] “We have to be willing to give the body time to respond. We didn't get here overnight. We're not going to repair it overnight.”  Jenn Trepeck[49:01] “I implore you to be willing to journal. I don't mean writing down every thought and feeling. I mean, track what you notice because often, these things will improve so unless we pause to think about it and consider it, we might not notice some of the changes happening.” Jenn Trepeck[58:50] “So the idea of putting all these things together to me is more about being able to think of the small changes we can make.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramDebunking DetoxWhere Does The Food Go To?Down and Dirty Nutrition 101Caveman Biology in a Very Modern World (Dr. Kathy Campbell)BMI is BSBrain Health and Blood Sugar

Have you ever questioned the accuracy and usefulness of BMI as a measure of health? In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the history and limitations of the body mass index, exploring why relying solely on BMI can be problematic and misleading.   Tune in this week as we challenge some common assumptions about BMI and its correlation with chronic diseases. We discuss the origins of BMI, the lack of diversity in the research behind it, and how it fails to account for important factors like muscle mass and body fat distribution.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://blog.npreviews.com/body-mass-index/

Recent studies have found that the famous ‘Body Mass Index' is a flawed system. Instead, we should be using a new measurement: the Body Roundness Index or BRI. Simply, the process calculates how round you are, with high and low scores being dangerous.Joining Kieran to discuss is Diana Thomas from the US Military Academy in West Point, New York.

What's a quick measure of how healthy you are? Most people would say Body Mass Index or BMI. But increasingly, experts have come to the conclusion that BMI has several limitations. Why? For one thing it was made using data from 19th century Europeans and does not work well across different populations. For another, it does not tell you the composition of your weight, or crucially, where that weight is located. Indians are genetically predisposed to putting on more weight around the abdomen region, and it is this fat that puts at risk of various diseases including diabetes. And this where another index comes in – the Body Roundness Index or BRI. Devised in 2013, studies over the last decade have now shown that BRI may be a better predictor of what health risks you may face. BRI, unlike BMI, takes your waist circumference into account, essentially letting you know if you are too round, and therefore unhealthy. How does the BRI calculation work? What has research about it shown so far? And is it a better metric for Indians to use? Guest: Diana Thomas, the mathematician who devised BRI.

Highlights From This Episode “More frequently oncology nurses are using intramuscular injection techniques when giving certain hormonal therapies for cancer treatment and for cancer symptom management. Some examples of those are fulvestrant for treatment of hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, leuprolide as androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer. This is also used off label for breast cancer management. It's used for premenopausal ovarian suppression and also in noncancerous conditions like endometriosis and uterine fibroids.” TS 2:04 “Inadvertent injection into the sciatic nerve is one of the most common causes of sciatic injury. It has significant morbidity associated with it. And even for drugs like fulvestrant, the prescribing information notes reports of sciatica, neuropathic pain, neuralgia, peripheral neuropathy—all related to dorsogluteal injection.” TS 6:09 “When administering an IM injection to someone who is cachectic, you don't want the subcutaneous tissue to bunch up. So you can kind of stretch this over with your nondominant hand, as in the Z-track method, and then grasp the muscle between your thumb and index finger. That's going to help you ensure that you're getting that muscular injection.” TS 11:47  “Z-track is a way that you inject so that there's no leakage back out into the subcutaneous space. Clean your area as usual. You displace the skin and the subcutaneous tissue that's over that muscle, and then you inject slowly into the muscle. Once you remove the needle, then you release that tissue. And it kind of seals it over and prevents that leakage back up into the subcutaneous space.” TS 14:19 “I think ventrogluteal injection is less commonly done. There are documented issues with confidence in landmarking and giving it to that site, so practice is necessary. A great way to identify the ventrogluteal site on yourself to start is to stand up and put your hand at your side. You feel for the top of that iliac crest. Place your hand right below the iliac crest and then just start marching in place. You're going to feel that muscle contraction right away. This also works when you abduct your leg. Abducting the leg is helpful when a patient is at a side-lying position to give a ventrogluteal injection—you feel that muscle contraction.” TS 17:06 “I wish it would be front of mind to encourage adverse event reporting related to any injection you're giving. These types of reports—they drive improvement measures and monitoring. And then when things are underreported, it leads us to anecdotal reports. So really monitoring any change, trying to get some baseline data on adverse events with injection is really important.” TS 26:32 

Ever since it showed up on the Body Mass Index, the label “obese” has been used to judge and often shame people with larger bodies. Medical providers, family and friends, even strangers make assumptions about fat people's health solely based on their size. At the same time, excess quantities of fat can lead to poor health outcomes such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. Over the decades, medical associations have evolved their understanding of obesity. The American Medical Association, the National Institutes of Health, and the American Obesity Society all classify obesity as a disease requiring medical treatment.  How does that change the way medical providers care for their obese and overweight patients? And does that mean people with fatter bodies can now face less discrimination? As a part of a series of ongoing conversations on Well, Now on weight and health, we discuss the current medical definition of obesity and how to treat it with Dr. Angela Fitch, former Associate Director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Weight Center.

(tap, tap) Is this thing on? (tap) I think it's on. Hey everyone. It's just me, Tara, this week. Kris couldn't join me as usual, so instead of replaying one of our old episodes, we came up with an idea for something smaller. Here are my top five podcasts and an official recommendation. Official Recommendation From Tara: Blood Remains by Cathy Pegau This week, I'm recommending the historical, sapphic, urban fantasy romance Blood Remains by Cathy Pegau. The worldbuilding is robust, inviting us into the syndicated crime scene of 1930s Seattle. It also has found family, which I'm a huge sucker for.  Works/People Discussed Maintenance Phase (Suggested episodes: Snake Oil, The Body Mass Index, Diet Book Deep Dive: Angela Lansbury's “Positive Moves”) Your Fat Friend If Books Could Kill (Suggested episodes: Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus, The 5 Love Languages, The 4-Hour Work Week) A More Civilized Age Better Offline History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps Support & follow the show Buy us a Ko-fi Sign up for our newsletter on Substack Twitter: @queerlyrec Facebook: @QueerlyRecommended Instagram: @queerlyrecommended Blusky: @queerlyrec.bsky.social Get all our links on Linktr.ee Support local animal shelters by joining Kris's Patreon

Join us for this replay from the archives and learn more about strength training versus traditional cardio...   Dr. James Fisher answers the question once and for all, do we really need to do exercises like running, cycling, and swimming to improve our cardio? Find out the truth about cardio exercises and cardiovascular health and why you should get off the treadmill and start doing resistance training right now. The fundamental question is “What is cardio?” Even people who have seen the results of the 20-minute routines delivered by the Exercise Coach still wonder what place cardio has in physical fitness. Historically people have perceived exercise to be going for a run or what we think of as traditional cardio. Usually this takes the form of long duration and low intensity and focuses on aerobic energy production. The accepted wisdom is that cardio is just activities like running and cycling, but the truth is that any activity can become cardio exercise if done at the correct intensity. Cardio also raises the idea that we need to perform prolonged exercise to get the result, but that's not necessarily the case. The trouble is that duration doesn't necessarily translate to improved fitness. Someone going for a 4-hour walk isn't going to see the results they would see from an activity with a higher intensity level. Cardio activities like running, cycling, or swimming improve our heart health because of the sustained elevation of the heart rate. While that's true and that process also makes the heart and muscles more efficient, but it's really the act of having the heart rate elevated for an extended period of time that brings those results and it's not reserved for traditional cardio exercises. It is possible to be fit while still having an unhealthy heart due to lifestyle choices. Studies have shown that it is better to be fit and fat, than unfit. People who are overweight and exercise have better health outcomes than people with a normal Body Mass Index who don't exercise at all. Exercises that we perform that are a high enough intensity and frequency can more than counteract any of the other lifestyle risk factors. There is growing evidence that shows that effective exercise alone and improving fitness is powerfully prophylactic in terms of health and longevity. Even if you no longer see visible fitness increases from your exercise, you are still catalysing positive changes at a cellular level and prolonging and improving the quality of your life. Traditional cardio exercises are not necessary to become healthy. Strength training exercises have similar results to traditional cardio training with similar cardiovascular health benefits. It also comes with less risk of chronic joint pain. Don't feel tied to an exercise modality. Studies have shown that people have seen increases in cardiovascular health and efficiency with only a simple 12-week strength training program. Resistance training is the superior choice because, in addition to the cardiovascular benefits, you also improve strength, bone density, and muscle mass. Improved muscle quality is a jackpot outcome because it has a ripple effect that leads to all of the systems of the body getting better when we optimize the health of our muscles.   Link: exercisecoach.com     This podcast and blog are provided to you for entertainment and informational purposes only.

Episode 25 of The Pound of Cure Weight Loss podcast is titled, From 369.5 to 19,341: Lynsey's journey to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. The title comes from our Patient Story where we talk to Lynsey who came to us at 369.5 pounds. She lost a ton of weight after her gastric bypass but she didn't stop there. She embraced physical activities that led her to the tallest free-standing mountain in the world! Her story is truly inspiring!  Our In the News segment features an article from US News that talks about another beneficial side effect of taking Zepbound. In clinical trials, Zepbound has been proven to drastically reduce sleep apnea. Does that mean that insurance companies will now approve the use of Zepbound for the treatment of sleep apnea? Tune in to find out!  BMI or Body Mass Index is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. It's used, almost universally, by both the medical and insurance industries. In our Nutrition segment, Zoe explains why BMI is unreliable and, in her words, “trash”.  The Zepbound shortage has left a lot of people struggling without their medication. So, in our Economics of Obesity segment, we talk about the Wegovy coupon and how some patients may be able to switch from Zepbound to Wegovy to help get them through.  Finally, we answer 3 new questions from our listeners including, our thoughts on Poppi prebiotic soda, whether or not Medicare will cover revision surgery, and hypoglycemia while taking GLP-1 medication. 

This is a super hot topic in health care in some parts of the world at the moment. In this episode I look at how these drugs work and the pros and cons of taking them for weight loss purposes. Obesity, in some instances, is in essence a form of ‘malnutrition' because of the nature of food consumed and how rates have increased rapidly over the last 40 years.

This week, we're coming in hot with a breakdown of Oprah, Ozempic, and ob*sity.... oh my! A couple of weeks ago, Oprah did a TV special called “Shame, Blame & the Weight Loss Revolution," which was basically an hour-long infomercial for weight loss drugs. In this episode, we talk about:Oprah's history with diet culture & moral panicThe difference between Oprah exercising her own body autonomy vs. going on TV to promote her dietsA breakdown & critique of all the main points of the special (so you don't have to watch it!)And why framing ob*sity as a disease is both incorrect and a money-making tool for multiple industries.Note: This episode doesn't do much of a deep dive about Ozempic & GLP-1 drugs themselves because we already did a whole episode on that! So, if you're looking for specific info about side effects, effectiveness, risk/benefits, and more… go check out episode #68 - We Need to Talk About Ozempic & Wegovy.Referenced in this episode:Maintenance Phase - "Oprah Winfrey & the 'Wagon of Fat'"Maintenance Phase - "Oprah Winfrey & 'John of God'"Maintenance Phase - "Oprah v.
