I was just researching this myself before investing in LLY.

For cardiovascular health, they see benefits even with people who are at a healthy BMI, which suggests therapeutic effects beyond just losing weight.



it could also suggest that BMI isn't a great metric, though, as has been in the news often lately.

regardless, thanks too.


It isn't. Waist-to-height ratio is a much better predictor of cardiovascular issues - you want to stay below 0.5.

I never went above 25 BMI but I wouldn't call myself a healthy person as it's obviously like that only due to low muscle mass.


Very interesting! Thanks for chiming in.
