[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always thought the idea of BMI was to estimate body fat... From the NIH: “Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women.” https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmi-m.htm[/quote] It isn't, really. It's used as a proxy, but is not a very good one. A man who is very muscular may have an actual body fat percentage of 8 percent but a BMI of 30 because muscle is more dense than fat. [/quote]
