Assessing obesity beyond body mass index : integrating physiological and functional indicators of impairment in national health surveillance / by Tracey Bushnik, Rachel Colley and Douglas G. Manuel.: CS82-003/2026-3-1E-PDF

"Body mass index (BMI) is commonly used to estimate obesity prevalence; however, reliance on BMI alone can lead to an incomplete understanding of obesity’s impact on health. In line with the 2025 recommendations of the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Commission, this study combines population-level measures of excess adiposity with indicators of physiological dysfunction and activity limitation across eight body system domains to characterize clinical and preclinical obesity among Canadian adults"--Abstract, Background, page 3.
