within the Faculty of Medicine analyzed the anthropometric data of approximately 3,000 Israeli men and women. They determined that body fat percentage is a more dependable measure of a person’s general health and risk of cardiometabolic conditions than the commonly used BMI index. Consequently, they propose that body fat percentage should be the primary standard and advocate for clinics throughout Israel to adopt appropriate equipment for this purpose.
The researchers analyzed the anthropometric data of 3,000 Israeli women and men, accumulated over several years: BMI scores; DXA scans ; and cardiometabolic blood markers. About one-third of the participants, 1,000 individuals, were found to be within the normal weight range. Prof. Gepner: “Our findings were somewhat alarming, indicating that obesity with normal weight is much more common in Israel than we had assumed. Moreover, these individuals, being within the norm according to the prevailing BMI index, usually pass ‘under the radar’. Unlike people who are identified as overweight, they receive no treatment or instructions for changing their nutrition or lifestyle – which places them at an even greater risk for cardiometabolic diseases.
