How does physical appearance correlate with health outcomes?
Physical appearance can often act as an indicator of underlying health conditions. For instance, body mass index (BMI) is frequently used to assess whether an individual is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese, each of which is associated with different health risks. Similarly, skin color can offer clues about potential vitamin D deficiency or risk of skin cancer. Therefore, monitoring these characteristics helps in early detection and prevention strategies.
