Body Mass Index (BMI) has long been regarded as a standard measure for assessing weight-related health risks and, more recently, determining eligibility for anti-obesity medications like GLP-1 ...

BMI, or body mass index, is an outdated measurement that fails to properly identify health risks, according to a new study. Measuring body fat may be just as easy.

Most precise ever measurement of W boson mass to be in tension with the Standard Model Date: April 7, 2022 Source: DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory Summary: Scientists have achieved the ...

Published: September 10, 2023 10:20pm EDT We’ve known for some time the body mass index (BMI) is an inaccurate measuring stick for assessing someone’s weight and associated health.

What makes this new measurement so intriguing is that it challenges the value expected based on the Standard Model of particle physics. This new measurement took 10 years of analysis using data ...

The ~73 megaelectronvolt discrepancy between the two measurements is the difference between the boson’s true mass being nearly in agreement with the Standard Model and significantly at odds with it.
