Abstrakt: We've known for some time the body mass index (BMI) is an inaccurate measuring stick for assessing someone's weight and associated health. BMI is an internationally recognised screening method for sorting people into one of four weight categories: underweight (BMI less than 18.5), normal weight (18.5 to 24.9), overweight (25.0 to 29.9) or obese (30 or greater). The body mass index can't tell us if we're healthy. [Extracted from the article]
