We would love to see this as a sign of progress but the problems with the BMI have been acknowledged by the public health establishment for years without any change in practice.
I’m literally shocked right now. I never thought I would see the day The American Medical Association would outright say that BMI is no longer recommended as a measure of health and specifically cite that it has racist origins and should not be used in diagnosing eating disorders
