Obesity is commonly diagnosed using BMI, but this approach has several limitations. Researchers at Lund University and AstraZeneca show that integrating measurements such as body fat percentage and waist circumference captures disease risks missed by BMI alone.   In recent years, research has shown that there are several limitations with BMI alone when it comes to assessing adiposity quantity, dis
