- almost 2/3rds of Americans are either overweight or obese. This is contributing to newly rising deaths from heart/cardiovascular disease, especially among people younger than 50. Check your BMI, cut out sugar!
- I'm 5'9" and there's no way I could weight 160lbs! I'll be way too thin. Not everyone has the same frame, I have big bones.Bennn
- ugh! i'm overweight by 10 lbs. i know it too. back to work for me. damn it.capn_ron

- There are some limitations to the accuracy of BMI, but unless you are very muscly, it is really the best measure we have of risk of weight-related disease.sarahfailin
- I'm not fat at all imbecile :)Bennn
- BMIs are generalized. Doc always said I should be what I weighed at 18.toemaas
- It is kind of ridiculous. I am going for 175lbs at 10% bf and I'm ~185lbs now at 5.11/6'. I have some fat as my bf is around 16-17% right now but IBoz

- BMI is a completely useless measure. It doesn't make any distinction between water weight, skeletal weight, organ weight, lean muscle mass, and fat mass.Continuity
- You can be 183 cm, 76 kg with a BMI of 22.7, which is supposedly normal. But that same 183/76 person could also be at 25% body fat, which is obese.Continuity
- BMI is nonsenseMrT
- folks, this is horse shit propaganda. I have a health issue and this states my weight is fine, which it is not. Very dangerous misuse of data.dibec
- Well, this SHOULD be +10kg for each height to be Healthy. This predicts my actual weight very well, but I'm "tall & skinny" so no, @dibec is rightgrafician
- Doc says I’m healthy, but could do more cardio, I admit to her. It matches the chart. Good thing dibec is here to tell me she’s wrong. bennn you are so fatimbecile
- this chart is bullshit, imbecile you are so average that you would fit into any of these charts, and i agree, benn is to loose weight.sted

- "Average" in America IS overweight. And clothing size is a laughable. You guys are in denial. This is science!sarahfailin
- It’s the health equivalent of a porn name generatorMrT
- You guys are misunderstanding what BMI is for. It's a high level health indicator, it doesn't tell you if you're obese, fat or not. It's based on the assumptionzarkonite
- that you have an average level of physical activity. If your level of fitness is closer to an athlete, like you Boz, then it doesn't apply. You have to lookzarkonite
- into body composition (fat/muscle ratio) and lifestyle to get a more relevant picture.zarkonite
- It is however something you should check for heart health. No matter if you're made up of fat or muscle the amount of blood you have to pump is roughly the samezarkonite
- and an unhealthy heart won't last long if you're out of shape. You'll need to have a VO2 Max to match your BMI, or else you're at a higher risk of a CVA/Stroke.zarkonite
