[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is making me wonder about the value of BMI as a measure of skinniness or fatness (or whatever). What if you're thin/healthy weight, but have large breasts .... or if you're thin but are more fit and have more muscle mass than "skinny fat." Wouldn't those things push up your BMI, such that someone with a BMI of, say, 21 or 22, could actually look skinnier than someone with a lower BMI? [/quote] Those people won't "look skinnier" but they may look stronger or more fit. But very fit or very strong people can be very lean. Different people have different builds. Body composition can vary widely among healthy people. And the ranges for healthy weight BMI are too restrictive. People who are slightly under or over weight can still be healthy and still look healthy. [/quote]
