Beyond BMI

Nutrients, 2023
This review examined the origins of the concept of the BMI in the work of Quetelet in the 19th century and its subsequent adoption and use in tracking the course of the pandemic of obesity during the 20th century. In this respect, it has provided a valuable international epidemiological tool that should be retained.

Targeting the frontoparietal network using bifocal transcranial alternating current stimulation during a motor sequence learning task in healthy older adults

Brain Stimulation, 2022
Background: Healthy older adults show a decrease in motor performance and motor learning capacity as well as in working memory (WM) performance. WM has been suggested to be involved in motor learning processes, such as sequence learning.

What is the best measure of adiposity change in growing children: BMI, BMI %, BMI z-score or BMI centile? [PDF]

European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2005
Weight control programs for obese children monitor change in body mass index (BMI) adjusted for age. However, change can be measured in several ways: raw (kg/m2) units, percentage, z-scores or centiles. The suitability of the different measures is not known.To identify the optimal BMI measure for change, whose short-term variability is most consistent ...
