Thank God for Thecoli. You would never see this information on the national news.
This is what gets me too. All that faking and superiority bullshyt to cover up a house of lies and flies and filth, while demonizing us. And you will NEVER see thinkpieces on this type of shyt.
All over the public health sector.
Apparently it’s happened with obesity as well.
Cousin mentioned similar trends in whites and Hispanic females not getting targeted for treatment due to blk women being labeled as the most overweight demographic. I heard about this a while ago but
But apparently it’s based on BMI which fails to account for muscle mass. Hip to waist ratio indicates
Accuracy of current body mass index obesity classification for white, black and Hispanic reproductive-age women
“Obesity as classified by the NIH (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) and WHO (%BF >35%) identified 205 (36.9%) and 350 (63.1%) of the women as obese, respectively. NIH defined obesity cutoff values had 47.8%, 75.0% and 53.9% sensitivity in white, black and Hispanic women, respectively.
White and Hispanic women had 2.9% greater %BF than black women for a given BMI. Receiver operating characteristics curves analyses showed that the respective sensitivities improved to 85.6%, 81.3%, and 83.2%, and that 311 women (56.0%) were classified as obese as a whole when race/ethnic specific BMI cutoff values driven by our data (BMI≥ 25.5, 28.7, and 26.2 kg/m2 for white, black and Hispanic women, respectively) were used to detect %BF-defined obesity.”
“Moreover, white and Hispanic women demonstrated significantly higher percent body fat (%BF) for a given BMI than black women (
22). Thus, data on accurate BMI cutoff values based on %BF to define obesity in women of different races/ethnicities are needed to better assess an individual’s risk of obesity related morbidity and mortality. This is especially important to determine in reproductive-aged women as they are more likely to be obese than similarly aged men (
23), which may make them vulnerable to cardiovascular disease risk factors and other obesity related diseases. To obtain this critical information, we investigated the accuracy of the currently used BMI cutoff value in comparison with WHO’s %BF-based criterion standard to identify obesity among reproductive-aged white, black, and Hispanic women.”
The truth only comes out when the lies start impacting their health.
Consider the fact that even tho multiple studies have shown BMI as inaccurate especially when accounting for ethnic differences but in popular news everywhere its used to measure national obesity rates.
