Doctors should stop using body mass index as a measure of health because it harms body image and contributes to 'weight shaming', MPs say.
The measure, calculated from weight and height, is used to categorise people as underweight, healthy weight, overweight or obese.
BMI is also used by the NHS to determine eligibility for weight loss or gain programmes.
