A new definition of obesity that includes body measurements beyond BMI just changed everything. In a study of 300,000 adults, obesity rates jumped 60% when waist and body fat distribution were included.

This could reshape how we diagnose, treat, and even define obesity in medicine and policy. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkope
