The internationally recognized body-mass index (BMI) cut-off point for obesity may not be appropriate for middle-aged and older men and women (aged 40-80 years), according to research being presented at this year's European Congress on Obesity (ECO) in Venice, Italy (12-15 May).
May 15 2024European Association for the Study of Obesity The internationally recognized body-mass index cut-off point for obesity may not be appropriate for middle-aged and older men and women , according to research being presented at this year's European Congress on Obesity in Venice, Italy .
However, given the changes that occur to body composition with aging-;such as an increase in body fat and a decrease in lean mass -;the use of the current BMI cut-off point as an indicator of obesity for all age groups may not be appropriate. Participants were classified according to current WHO BMI cut-offs-;1,087 normal-weight , 1,826 overweight , and 1,887 individuals with obesity .
Many participants with a BMI indicative of healthy weight were classified as having obesity when accounting for body fat percentage. The analysis showed that for men and women and younger and older age groups the ideal BMI cut-off for identifying obesity was the same, around 27 kg/m².
