It seems to me I heard somewhere that Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD

There is a lengthy summary article discussing these issues,
collecting material from a number of sources, at

http://members.nuvox.net/~on.jwclymer/bmi.html

The article includes relevant formulas and summarizes some
research in chart form; it is so diverse I won't try to critique
it but it appears to rate waistline size and waist to height ratio
fairly high as practical measures of coronary risk.

FWIW, one observation in the article is that to lose one inch of
waistline a person will typically have to lose six to eight pounds
of body weight. Truth is simple, I guess--no formulas or
anything. :-)

In truth, this is a formula with the constant (C) is given as being
from 1/8 to 1/6 (inches/pound).

That is your interpretation;

This is the truth.

all you've done is take someone else's work
(that in the article, and my allusion to it), recast it, and sell it
as your own so you can claim there *is* a formula--

I'm not selling anything. Sorry you don't like the fact that what you
described was indeed a formula.

there was none in the
article I cited, because they were discussing it as a rule of thumb.

Some rules of thumb are formulae.

change in waistline = C * wtloss

A formula you admit has no basis but your own imagination.

A formula that works to predict the dependent variable as a function
of the independent variable.

Since you ask elsewhere.

Inches would be and example of a unit of length.

Oh, is *that* what that means?

Yes.

How droll. ;-)

Sorry the truth bores you.

How many units of
length can you name with your medical education?

An infinite number. Each multiple of an inch can be arbitrarily named
as a unit. Similar each foot, each yard, each meter, each centimeter,
nanometer, kilometer, et cetera.

Please answer this and
the rest of the questions in the thread where I asked them.

I have.

You remain in my prayers, dear Don whom I love.

May God bless you on this Lord's day.

Servant to the humblest person in the universe,

Andrew
