: Body mass index of body builders

225 views

Have checked some of the body builders BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) which is pretty unhealthy as they are more than 25. Does this mean they are unhealthy??

BMI is only useful as a very general tool to at a glance, determine if a relatively average person is under/overweight. Having a high or low BMI does not mean that you are overweight – simply that if you have an average frame, bone density, and muscle mass that you are over/underweight. Anyone that falls significantly outside the average (such as bodybuilders), BMI is completely useless for.
