The way we define obesity is flawed. Read more about Body Mass Index’s flaws on Vox.com: http://bit.ly/2nxeQ2U The body mass index, better known as BMI, is a measure of obesity that has been in use for over 200 years. It was a formula created by Belgian mathematician Adolphe Quetelet. It takes your weight (sorry my fellow Americans, everyone else is on the metric system) in kilograms divides and divides it by height in meters squared. And from this you get a number that represent your total body mass relative to your height and weight. The ranges go from underweight to obese, and one decimal point can tip you in either direction. BMI has been used to study obesity in large populations, and for the most part it’s okay for those types of studies. However, when individual health is the topic at hand, using the body mass index can make judging a person’s health a little bit trickier.

Yes
Because it is based on the Golden Ration, not any kind of science.
@The Fool cool
Oh no
ethnicity though
It’s so funny an overweighted lady talking about weight😂😂😂
They should say being an athlete and someone that already pays special attention to their bodies may be exclusions to the rule. Regular people: Shoot for 21 BMI.
I have a 46 inch waist I don’t think it’s muscle I think it’s mostly donuts and pancakes.
i tried to loose weight to reach my ideal bmi. When i did, i looked emaciated. Felt and look sick
34
To be honest I only use a BMI calculator because I think it’s fun.
I don’t focus on it too much, mine is sometimes 18 and sometimes 19. 🙂
This is just an advertisement.
What an oversimplification.
If you have muscles you know it and you are working for them.
Nobody reaches 30 BMI with low bf by luck.
The average “obese” is just obese
Okay what about skinny muslces
BMI never was designed for determining health. It’s a very very quick brief summary so a doctor can at a glance know what the situation is like.
Bodybuilders are dropping dead because of over eating. It’s too much work for your digestive system to break down five meals a day and a ton of calories. I agree with bmi 😊
They are dying cuz of steroids
@JeffreyEpsteinFanclub no there dying because of there diet
BMI is a joke for athletes but everyone who complains abt it does not fall into that category
