Going forward, disability sport's major classification body, the IPC, is working on improving classification to be more of an evidence-based system, as opposed to a performance-based system, so as not to punish elite athletes whose performance makes them appear in a higher class compared to competitors who train less.
Going forward, disability sport's major classification body, the International Paralympic Committee, is working on improving classification to be more of an evidence-based system as opposed to a performance-based system so as not to punish elite athletes whose performance makes them appear in a higher class alongside competitors who train less.
Each ICF category is denoted by a code composed by a letter that refers to the components of the classification (b, Body Functions; s, Body Structures; d, Activities and Participation; e, Environmental Factors) and is followed by a numeric code starting with the chapter number (one digit), followed by the 2nd level (two digits) and the 3rd and 4th levels (one digit each).

However, this classification of body shape is qualitative rather than quantitative, and still crudely measure fat distribution on human body.

Huybrechts I, De Bacquer D, Van Trimpont I, De Backer G, De Henauw S. Validity of parentally reported weight and height for preschool-aged children in Belgium and its impact on classification into body mass index categories.
The British Board of Film Classification, the body preventing the game's release there, agreed to a point: "The research certainly achieves the objective of establishing that research does not demonstrate that there is a causal link.
The classification of body weight followed the WHO guideline for the Asia-Pacific population [24]: underweight, BMI < 18.5; normal, BMI 18.5 to <23.0; overweight, BMI 23.0 to <25.0; obese, BMI 25.0 to <30.0; and morbidly obese, BMI ≥ 30.0 kg/m2.
Our secondary outcome was the distribution of medication use by therapeutic classification across body mass index (BMI) groups.
