Research

We know that comprehensive body assessment like the kind provided here at Revive Health is the most accurate assessment of overall health, (particularly when combined with additional health data such as lab values)...
but you don't have to take our word for it...read the science behind our stance.

Weight/BMI

Better to Be Fat and Fit Than Skinny and Unfit ("most striking finding was that fitness level, regardless of body mass index, was the strongest predictor of mortality risk")

The Obese Without Cardiometabolic Risk Factor Clustering and the Normal Weight With Cardiometabolic Risk Factor Clustering ("Among US adults, there is a high prevalence of clustering of cardiometabolic abnormalities among normal-weight individuals and a high prevalence of overweight and obese individuals who are metabolically healthy.")

Same B.M.I., Very Different Beach Body ("How is it possible that the same B.M.I. can look so different? The simple explanation is that muscle and bone are denser than fat and some people carry more or less weight in their torso or legs. As B.M.I. factors in only height and weight, it sidesteps these differences. This is a crucial shortcoming as some research now suggests that body fat percentage and body composition are more important indicators of health than weight alone.")

Overfat and Underfat: New Terms and Definitions Long Overdue ("a person’s body weight is in itself unlikely to be a primary contributor to the negative health effects that are associated with obesity...The limitations associated with using BMI clinically have been well documented...In another study, nearly 50% of men and women classified as obese using densitometric methods were determined to be of normal BMI...Clearly, BMI has limited relevance for assessing accurate markers of body composition and body fat distribution, which are important signs of metabolic health.")
