Correct. I missed that to tie it here. Obesity isn't a disease and doctors prescribing medicine only on the basis of it need to stop.
This study clearly indicates that BMI isn't and shouldn't be the only measure for obesity. Let's hope the doctors would follow it.

American doctors would need the AMA or their pharma rep to tell them to. They're good little lap dogs and will obediently do as they're told.

Yes, you're right. This is same everywhere. But I think people would change them once there's enough and correct education on health and fitness. I think after COVID people have started to put stress on educating themselves more on fitness.
