BMI's really a poor indicator of health, though, especially if you're really muscular, out of shape, or really tall or short.

Yeah, BMI is weird. Right now I'm about 10 pounds over the weight at which I look best. If I were to lose enough weight to get to the middle of the "normal" range, I'd look disgustingly skinny. Maybe it's because I'm tall?

Move over BMI, there's a new sheriff in town:
BMI or Body Mass Index, a ratio of weight to height, has long been considered one of the best measures for assessing overall health risk.Getting your BMI into a healthy range used to be considered a top health priority. However, recent research shows that there is a new sheriff in town: your waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). Studies now indicate that WHtR is a much better measure than BMI for assessing obesity and cardiovascular risk.
