Agreed! My BMI is considered high, but my cholesterol is in the low 100s, my resting HR is 60 bpm, and BP is 110/60. I exercise daily, eat right, don’t drink or smoke, but they’d consider me “high risk” due to my weight.
Dumb... just dumb.
“The BMI is a very crude measure of body fat & general health. It should never be used to pass judgment on an individual’s state of health.”
Correct. I am a former professional football player. I am “morbidly obese” by BMI with a 7-8% bodyfat (you can see my abs).
