@Naim__Ali ayo actually the modern BMI ratio is based on a formula from 1832. Adolphe Qutelet developed the formula as quantifiable measure of health. He was a mathematician and sociologist, not a physician. https://t.co/NTa0hDTjXA

Turns out BMI was created by a mathematician who had serious biases https://t.co/AuACIjWdXR

the research you’re using to attempt to defend yourself isn’t even accurate. BMI was created in the 19th century and it’s creator had no interest in measuring obesity, rather the study of averages and growth throughout a human’s lifetime. (https://t.co/Qez

@benj_cardiff @PWGTennant https://t.co/6dLIwjgMDR There's a history behind it, refer to Adolphe Quetelet the Mathematician. Perhaps this could help illuminate an answer for the question you have?

Quetelet's goal was defining the characteristics of ‘normal man’ and fitting the distribution around the mean. By measuring a large cohort with their physical deviances, one would come closest to the ideal of what a human being should look like. https://

Aldolphe Quetelet, a Danish astronomer, developed the BMI in the 1830's using a cohort of French and Scottish men. Typical of the time, these participants were lean, active, white males with unstable food supply. https://t.co/PmGlbUmMXb

The inventor of the BMI measurement was a eugenicist and mathematician, not a doctor. The BMI was never intended to be a causal measure of health. Rather, it was intended to be a tool to identify a population-level “ideal” weight relative to height. 2/n ht

@stopgordofobia @MariaMarquesDN El IMC fue creado por Quetelet en 1832. Por eso hace tiempo se conocía como índice de Quetelet. https://t.co/txLWC5M53T

The girls love sources so here ya go, lurkers - https://t.co/SyNVERyhd0 Long story short, Quetelet didn't consider body diversity (nutrition is a new field, fyi) and needed a quick and dirty way to try to conceptualize solutions by making thin Europeans
