55% : Researchers from Mass General Brigham found that when applying the new criteria, which expands upon the traditional use of body mass index (BMI) to include measures of body fat distribution, the prevalence of obesity increased from about 40 percent to about 70 percent among over 300,000 people included in their study.
55% : But other anthropomorphic measures-such as waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, or waist-to-hip ratio-may further account for fat distribution and aid in differentiation between muscle and fat mass.
