Another important note - while women with
WC but
BMI were at an increased risk of death, this was a TINY proportion (0.9%) of the population, so in fact a healthy BMI was a very good predictor for 99.1% of people!
TL:DR - headlines are dumb and directly contradict the study - BMI isn't useless it's very useful for most people - WC is also useful - BMI+WC is probably best!
