look at that blubber fly. muscle mass plays havoc with bmi accuracy.i'm about 19 too, none of that pesky muscle to bother me. i'm sure i was perfectly healthy when i was around the 18 mark, though. but i guess that diet of chocolate and crisps w/ dip has done wonders for me.― Merdeyeux, Wednesday, 30 July 2008 19:12 (1 year ago) Permalink

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.

This is great because I go from "Overweight" on the BMI scale to "Extremely Slim" on the WHtR scale.
No longer am I penalized for being athletic.

Well, if you're 6' tall and have a 24" waist, there should be cause for concern.

Thats the last time I weighed myself, I think I may be less heavy now but probably not much.
It's OK, anyway

24.5 = normal (just)
since xmas i now fast walk 4km a day (40 mins), and that has definitely helped me get back down to my usual 75kg as i had put on a couple of red wine enhanced kilos over lockdown.but seems like the daily walk has helped me find the balance between enjoying wine and exercise.

Reminds me of this: A man in his 30s with no underlying health conditions was offered a Covid vaccine after an NHS error mistakenly listed him as just 6.2cm in height.
Liam Thorp was told he qualified for the jab because his measurements gave him a body mass index of 28,000.
