Because it's an easy and simple calculation. And many health-care professionals don't know - or don't care - that the BMI calculation is often terribly wrong.
I have a friend when I was at Pensacola, Florida for flight training. We were both labeled as "overweight" by the BMI calculations. I actually was, but my friend was a short, squat, weight-lifter with VERY little fat - but that didn't matter. We would run together, and I lost weight - but he GAINED weight by running and lifting. After a month of this, the Navy did an actual displacement measurement in a tank of water. Turned out that his body fat was about 4%.
I will have to disagree with Mr. Mitchell. BMI and waist circumference is a great way to measure someone's health. It wouldn't be so widely used if it was so terribly wrong.
Of course it doesn't straight up portray your health - if you have 18% body fat and you have been going to the gym for 10 years, of course the BMI will show you are not in the normal weight range. But the doctors will obviously notice this.
The reason BMI is so popular is that it shows very accurately what your situation is if you don't really do any sports and you work an office job like the majority of population does. The reason they do this is that it is proven to work well. If your BMI is high, your risk of getting Heart diseases or Diabetes is higher. Of course if your body fat is low then they will not perform a BMI test for you, and if they do, they don't warn you from the dangers that you face from having high BMI.
It shows that my BMI is 28.9. My BF% is 19. This is why doctors nowadays don't even perform these tests to me - they have no reason to. My muscle mass to fat ratio is fine - I am in no danger of any of these diseases.
So yes, it is a great way to see where you go in the risk group category for obese people. It is meant to showcase people if they are in danger of getting diseases that can potentially kill them. These methods will be used for years to come because they work.
That is a really a matter of debate and personal preference. However, the two best selling brands of goalkeeper gloves are Uhlsport, used by many professionals, and Adidas.
Yes, preference shares are generally subject to taxation. The dividends received from preference shares are typically taxed as income for the shareholder, depending on the individual's tax bracket and local tax laws. Additionally, the issuing company may also face tax implications related to the distribution of dividends. It's important for investors to consult tax professionals for specific advice based on their circumstances and jurisdiction.
