When it comes to BMI—the most common measure of obesity—the price is right.

BMI, or body mass index, is ________ by dividing weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared. A result between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy. A BMI of 25 or ________ would then be classified as either overweight or obese.

Medical experts rely on BMI to assess the extent of obesity. The index, however, does not distinguish ________ from muscle or other tissue, and that causes some people to be placed in the wrong category. Very muscular people can be ________ for obese, while those who are tall with a high percentage of body fat can be wrongly ________ as healthy. So why not just replace it with other measures of body fat?

Dual­energy X­ray absorptiometry (DXA) is generally recognized as one of the most ________. The X­ray ________ by differentiating tissue density, so it is able to detect the difference between your body’s muscle, bone and fat ________, the number of which can then be used to calculate your fat percentage. Another ________ that is more familiar to many of you will be the use of body fat scales. They function by passing a subtle ________ current through your body. As muscle contains more water, it ________ electricity better than fat does. The greater the electrical ________, the more body fat you have.

DXA is certainly accurate, but very ________, requiring specialized equipment, which makes it unsuitable for use in large­scale studies. BMI is cheap, simple and generally accurate, and is still a suitable method for ________ the weight and health of entire populations. However, it is not a diagnostic tool for disease risks. If you find that your BMI is high, go to a medical professional and see what that may mean for you and your ________ health risks.

And there are health conditions for which being overweight is actually_________. For example, heavier women are less likely to develop calcium deficiency than thin women. Likewise, among the elderly, being somewhat overweight is often an_________ of good health.

Of even greater concern is the fact that obesity turns out to be very difficult to define. It is often defined_________ body mass index, or BMI. BMI_________ body mass divided by the square of height. An adult with a BMI of 18 to 25 is often considered to be normal weight. Between 25 and 30 is overweight. And over 30 is considered obese. Obesity, _________, can be divided into moderately obese(30-35), severely obese(35-40), and very severely obese(over 40).

While such numerical standards seem_________, they are not. Obesity is probably less a matter of weight than body fat. Some people with a high BMI are in fact extremely fit, while others with a low BMI may be in poor_________. For example, many collegiate and professional football players_________ as obese, though their percentage body fat is low. Conversely, someone with a small frame may have high body fat but a__________ BMI.

Today we have a(n)________ to label obesity as a disgrace. The overweight are sometimes__________ in the media with their faces covered. Stereotypes________ with obesity include laziness, lack of willpower, and lower prospects for success. Teachers, employers, and health professionals have been shown to harbour biases against the obese.

Negative attitudes toward obesity, __________ in health concerns, have stimulated a number of anti-obesity__________. My own hospital system has banned sugary drinks from its facilities.
