SUMMARY:
CONTENT:
The body mass index does not accurately measure whether someone is carrying excess weight or is more likely to die.
Academics also point out that many 'slim' adults whose BMI is in the normal range are carrying unhealthy fat without realising it.
The findings are further evidence that the measurement widely used by the NHS and schools is an unreliable and blunt tool.
But it does not distinguish muscle from fat, which means that rugby players and other well-built athletes are classified as obese.
The method is also flawed when used for children, even though it is used in schools to measure all five-year-olds and 11-year-olds as part of a NHS monitoring scheme.

本期節(jié)目參考譯文:(參考譯文由該節(jié)目主持人提供,僅供參考,歡迎大家討論)
參考譯文1:
身體質(zhì)量指數(shù)并沒(méi)有精確測(cè)量一個(gè)人是否有多余的重量,也不能說(shuō)明他是否更可能死亡。
學(xué)術(shù)研究人員還指出,許多“苗條”的成人身體質(zhì)量指數(shù)是正常的,并沒(méi)有意識(shí)到自己有不健康的脂肪。
研究發(fā)現(xiàn)進(jìn)一步證明,國(guó)民健康保險(xiǎn)制度和學(xué)校所廣泛采取的這種方法是不可靠的,效果很差。
但是這種方式無(wú)法區(qū)分肌肉與脂肪,也就是說(shuō)橄欖球運(yùn)動(dòng)員和其他身材完美的運(yùn)動(dòng)員會(huì)被認(rèn)為肥胖。
當(dāng)用于衡量小孩時(shí),這一方法也有缺陷,即使是作為國(guó)民健康保險(xiǎn)制度監(jiān)控計(jì)劃的一部分,學(xué)校檢測(cè)所有5歲和11歲孩子的體重健康情況時(shí)也是如此。
