近い将来、健康診断での体重測定がなくなるかも（!?）、です。
アメリカで登場した“Don’t Weigh Me”と呼ばれる手のひらサイズのカード。若者の摂食障害などの問題に取り組むカリフォルニア州の団体が作成しました。病院での体重測定をストレスに感じる人はこのカードを見せることで体重測定を拒否するそうです。
A body positivity website has created free “Don't Weigh Me" cards for patients who find stepping on the scale at the doctor's office stressful.
（中略）
The cards read: "Please don't weigh me unless it's (really) medically necessary," adding "If you really need my weight, please tell me why so that I can give you my informed consent," as shown in photographs on More-Love.org:
（中略）
The group supports a "Health at Every Size" philosophy, based around the assumption that "the current practice of linking weight to health using BMI (body mass Iindex) standards is biased and unhelpful.
"Because we live in a fatphobic society, being weighed and talking about weight causes feelings of stress and shame" the website states.

そもそもbody-shamingとかfat-shamingなる概念が以前からある国です。最近は“fatphobia”という言葉が使われており、体型、容姿、体重といった側面を過剰に取り上げるのを“fatphobia”のあらわれであると批判し、こうした慣行を改めようとする動きがあります。
最近のニュースでは有名人が肥満に対する侮辱的発言をしたとして批難を浴びました。
In the video, which has 4.8 million views, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, 37, can be heard voicing her controversial opinion in an interview with British podcast host Jay Shetty.
The fitness aficionado tells Shetty: "I can't stand people that are like eating a bucket of Häagen-Dazs ice cream, [saying] 'I'm so fat!'
"And like, they won't work out, they won't change their diet, they won't drink more water, they won't whatever, but they're complaining, complaining, complaining."

日本の健康診断では当たり前のように体重測定、身長測定から始まり、肥満の指標としてのBMI値が診断結果として報告されますが、BMIについても有用ではない、それどころか偏見を生んでいるという主張は今後一石を投じることになるでしょうか。
