I've just read that the BMI scale was created between 1830 and 1850 by the Belgian polymath Adolphe Quetelet.
Why are we still using this? Are we saying that our understanding of weight/height/body composition was at it's absolute peak in the 1800's???
Surely someone has created a much more accurate way of measuring these things?
