Re: BMI vs Body Composition test
shouldn't the formula for women be different? instead of the maximum waist line, maybe the maximum hip line? with a different coefficient of course, calibrated to give the right answer.
​
your cited formula breaks down for tiny people. plug in zeros for height and waist and - voila' - you weigh 98.2 pounds! ZouNDs!

That's fine, you can stop discussing this with me whenever you want.

In the time that I have been on EvC, CS has struck me as a very bizarre person. There is nothing wrong with being bizarre. But....

oh...i fear for you even more than Faith or Dawn Bertot. Take care man!

Well for me I think a lot of what you speak of stems from the Insurance companies themselves.
​
And the insurance industry is also getting it from the doctors with exorbitant malpractice premiums. Talk about pigs in shit, they are reaping zillions from both sides!
​
Another thing, today's doctors coming out of medical school typically are under the glacier weight of student loans of over half a million and beyond, payable at 3000/month for 40 years or so.
​
The world is very different for doctors than it was a mere 50 years ago.
