Fun fact: "6′4″ is well above average for a man, in the 98.9th percentile. ie only 1.1% of men are 6′4″ or taller in the US. " from a quick google search :p
But yeah I totally get your point. I’m a fitness guy myself but I just feel like people are too quick to dismiss BMI when for a dead easy and simple method it’s generally useful. I’d also hope that anybody who would be making decisions about BMI (went through med/PA or at least nursing school) would be able to think critically about the individual they’re evaluating too but that might be wishful thinking lol
A better estimation is waist to height ratio. If your waist is more than 50% of your height, you have an issue. It tracks a lot better with cardiovascular disease and diabetes risks than BMI.
Good tip!
