EFL058 - BMI vs Percent Body Fat in Defining Obesity
Update: 2025-02-20
Description
Join host Chase Hendrickson, MD, from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, in a discussion about a study in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism that reports the relationship between body mass index and percent body fat in terms of defining overweight and obesity. He talks with Andrew Kraftson, MD, from the University of Michigan and guest expert Beverly Tchang, MD, from Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City. The article featured this month, by Potter et al, was first published in JCEM in May 2024: “Defining Overweight and Obesity by Percent Body Fat Instead of Body Mass Index.” Show notes can be found at https://www.endocrine.org/journals/endocrine-feedback-loop-podcast-series/efl058-bmi-vs-percent-body-fat-in-defining-obesity — podcast home page: https://www.endocrine.org/journals/endocrine-feedback-loop-podcast-series
