I have seen on several websites that BMI is not an accurate or reliable way of knowing if someone is healthy. Why is this information suddenly inaccurate?
In: Biology
Well your BMI is pretty much just how much fat you have on your outside relative to you body. I’m sure a healthy BMI more often than not means you’re doing ok though, at least compared to someone with a very high number.
However your organs can develop fat on them which isn’t good either. You could have high cholesterol, blood pressure, cancer, or any other number of diseases that have nothing to do with your BMI.
