BMI
A population measure, shown with the caveat it needs. It is a good description of a thousand people and a poor description of one.
Your BMI
Example23.7
That falls in the healthy weight band.
| 0 to 18.4 | Underweight |
| 18.5 to 24.9 | Healthy weight |
| 25 to 29.9 | Overweight |
| 30 and over | Obese |
1.78 × 1.78 = 3.1684
75.0 ÷ 3.1684 = 23.7
Nothing in that equation knows what the weight is made of. Muscle is denser than fat, so a lifter can land in the overweight band on a body nobody would describe that way. For health risk, your waist measured against your height is the better number.
