The paradigm of body condition: a critical reappraisal of current methods based on mass and length (2010, background): “The pervasive effects of these intrinsic factors on CIs has been recognized as an important limitation of the Body mass index (BMI) in epidemiology (Gallagher et al. 1996; Prentice & Jebb 2001), but are usually ignored in ecological studies.”
Promoting positive change: Advancing the food well-being paradigm☆ (2013, background): “However, BMI has been criticized because the proportion of lean to fat body tissue can vary depending on factors such as age and ethnicity (Prentice & Jebb, 2001).”
The effects of physical activity on sleep: a meta-analytic review (2015, background): “Although many studies provided body mass index (BMI), BMI is not a reliable indicator of fitness (Prentice & Jebb, 2001).”
Face-to-BMI: Using Computer Vision to Infer Body Mass Index on Social Media (2017, methodology): “This distinction also applies to the BMI which is useful for studying population health but has shortcomings when used as a tool for individual health (Daniels 2009; Prentice and Jebb 2001).”
Measurement and Definitions of Obesity In Childhood and Adolescence: A field guide for the uninitiated (2007, neutral): “This is further complicated by findings that it is central (also described as intra abdominal – IA, or visceral) fat which is more pathogenic [4,8].”
Assessment and management of nutrition in older people and its importance to health (2010, background): “The mean body fat of a 20-year-old man weighing 80 kg is 15% compared to 29% in 75-year-old man of the same weight.(30) The cause of increase fat is multifactoral: reduced physical activity, reduced growth hormone secretion, diminished sex hormones and decreased resting metabolic rate.”
Body fat reference curves for children (2006, methodology): “6 Although body mass index is simple to measure and has been a valuable tool in monitoring trends in obesity, it also has numerous disadvantages”
The relationships between body mass and body image and relative autonomy for exercise among adolescent males and females (2007, background): “In addition, BMI does not distinguish between fat and fat-free mass (Prentice & Jebb, 2001).”
The levelling off of the obesity epidemic since the year 1999 – a review of evidence and perspectives (2010, background): “All studies that were identified used body mass index (BMI; weight in kilograms divided by squared height in metres [kg m-2]) as a measure of adiposity.”
