Oct 17, 2023 | newstatesman.com | Annabel Sowemimo

The precursor to the Body Mass Index (BMI) scale was invented more than 150 years ago by a Belgian statistician, Adolphe Quetelet. Named the Quetelet Index, it was designed as a sociological rather than medical tool, to study the average proportions of the “ideal” human body, based on a European physique.
