The Body Mass Index

from Maintenance Phase

הBMI הוא מדד שכולנו מכירים טוב כבר שנים. אבל לומר את האמת מעולם לא בדקתי מאיפה הוא מגיע ומה הבסיס המדעי שלו. ומסתבר שזאת טעות... שיחה על הBMI נבירה במקורות ההסטוריים שלו. ולצערי הרבה מידע על עד כמה הוא לא משקף את הערכים שאנחנו חושבים שהוא משקף. #בריאות #הסטוריה #אנגליתMaintenance phase - The Body Mass Indexמשך: שעה ו9 דק'https://pca.st/kxpptnkl#######The BMI is EVERYWHERE. But is it scientific or scientif-ish? While many Americans think of the body mass index as an objective measure of health, its history reveals a more complicated story. This week, Mike and Aubrey tackle the first in a two-part series about the BMI and the “Obesity Epidemic.” Along the way they visit 18th century Belgium, learn a gross new acronym and dissect Dracula's facial features.
