"New Guidelines Could Redefine 'Healthy': Are You Unknowingly Obese?"

New guidelines may redefine healthy as millions of Britons, previously considered fit, could actually be classified as obese based on updated obesity metrics.

• Current healthy BMI range of 18.5 to 25 may misclassify individuals as healthy while they may actually be obese, according to recent obesity research.
• Experts are advocating for a radical overhaul of obesity diagnosis, arguing that the traditional body mass index fails to account for factors like adipose tissue distribution.
• The proposed changes in defining obesity could significantly impact public health policies and preventive measures across the UK, particularly concerning rising obesity rates.
