– Why do doctors care so much about your BMI when it’s has been proven to be such a flawed metric for ones actual health?
In: 0
BMI is a flawed metric for people who are in exceptionally good shape. Body builders and the like are going to have skewed BMIs due to most of their weight being muscle mass.
The average person visiting the doctor is **not** a body builder (citation needed). For them, BMI is a decent _enough_ metric to show whether or not a person is overweight.
