I voted "it may prevent" as I was considering the literal definition of obese and not jumping straight to the morbidly obese.

In terms of BF, BF> 30% for women and >25% for men is obese. However, for the general population BMI works and correlates roughly to these BF %'s.

However, it should be widely know that BMI is not supposed to be applied to the very muscular or the very old. The muscular skew their BMI's high, while the old tend to skew low due to reduced muscle mass.

If you're old or very athletic and a doctor tries to apply BMI to you, find yourself a different doctor because he doesn't know the actual premise behind the test.

For the slightly overweight guy who can afford tailoring like some of the actors presented, no. For a guy like me starting off developing a wardrobe, yes. I just couldn't find stylish things off the rack. Most good stuff stopped at XXL and I was pushing it. I had to get my weight down and the clothes fit sooooo much better. But, I was at the mercy of off the rack so instead tailoring my clothes; I tailored my physique....much cheaper.

To paraphrase Hardy Amies, "If you are vain enough to read a forum about men's clothing, surely you can be vain enough to want to make yourself less fat."
