Pavlo R. Blavatskyy proposed an unexpected method to measure corruption: examining the median body mass index (BMI) of government ministers, positing a correlation to corruption levels.
Blavatskyy’s 'hedonistic theory of corruption' suggests that high government officials’ obesity correlates with lavish banquets, a common form of corruption, thereby affecting BMI.
