A study by the Chinese Academy of Sciences confirms impulsivity as a stable and measurable personality trait, identifying a general impulsivity factor, I, and developing the Adjustable Impulsivity Scale (AIMS) for precise measurement.

BMI, or body mass index, is a crude measurement of body fat based on height and weight that can be inaccurate in some cases. While it is useful for researchers studying the link between weight and chronic disease, critics argue that it perpetuates weight stigma and misconceptions about body weight. Other measurement tools, such as waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio, are being considered but are not yet practical for clinical use. Doctors should consider the whole patient and not rely solely on BMI to determine health status. Chronic disease can follow if excess weight is carried over a long period of time, as fat cells emit inflammatory signals that can lead to health complications.
