A comment on The Average American Man Is Too Fat for Universal’s New Mario Kart Ride. Parent comment
Sure, but for some reason everyone assumes BMI overstates obesity.
The opposite is more likely true. Strength and muscle mass are declining as waist size increases.
One study looked at this. BMI found ~30% of the participants were obese. But a body fat analysis showed 60% were obese!
Staggering difference, but in wrong direction
