what happened to waist-to-hip ratio, in the sense that nobody is mentioning it wrt this study and discussion? It's simple as hell, and I thought it was already considered better? Could they be combined, or do they share the same weaknesses?
I imagine the reason it isnt used is because the surface is complex. Its not as simple as standing on something writing a number, standing next to something and writing a number. You need to keep the angle correct and make sure the starting location is correct.
Wonder if you could use 2 side photos to calculate it, or 1 overhead.
It's just extremely hard to measure well. It's good in a research setting where diligence can be applied, but not at home and not when you're turning over dozens of patients a day in a clinic.
