"[It should be used with other measures such as] visceral fat [...] BMI is significantly correlated with the amount of fat mass in the general population but loses predictability when applied on the individual level" https://www.ama-assn.org/press-center/press-releases/ama-adopts-new-policy-clarifying-role-bmi-measure-medicine
