Using BMI to predict heart disease risk has problems. DEXA scan & RFM are more accurate, but they still can't unseat BMI. 

There's a new contender—using AI to analyze CT images of the belly or gut, which proves to be a better predictor of heart attack & stroke. 

In this podcast, let's discuss: 

• The problem with BMI (body mass index);
• The fact that body fat is not just a storage tissue;
• AI analysis of abdominal CT imaging ((https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/12/201202114507.htm);
• How AI/machine learning helps predict heart attack & stroke;
• BMI vs. DEXA scan vs. RFM (relative fat mass).
