BMI bites...use an index of % body fat/BP/cholesterol.
much easier to measure one variable and that would be either weight or body fat. Lose the weight and BP/chol will follow suit.

The problem with that is the doctors keep lowering the targets. What used to be considered good is now considered dangerous. Genuinely high blood pressure is serious business but cholesterol is not the danger that it is made out to be anyway, the medicines prescribed for it are more dangerous than the cholesterol will ever be. I swear the goal of medicine currently seems to be to have every person in the country on some form of chronic medication which they will be expected to take for the rest of their lives.
