If you live long enough you’re probably going to get cancer or have a stroke / heart attack. No real point dwelling on it, beyond not overdoing the obvious things that are risk factors.

23.7.
The bottom end of the healthy weight scale is ridiculously low (10st 9 at 6 foot 3!), in my opinion.

I'm well over on the BMI scale, but still look thinner than most of the bloaters I see lumbering around.

I'm 45, BMI says 23.9, been hovering around that value for a long time. Prob running at around 13% - 14% body fat at the moment I reckon. That'll do

No those are useless as well.
BMI is good for the average joe - it's a good indicator.
If you're into fitness you don't need to worry about BMI as you'll have a better understanding.
Blood tests and health checks are the best indicator of health really.

Which, by the way, is not the equivalent of one cheeseburger, but rather four hundred cheeseburgers... That number has been bothering me for a different reason, though. It's also the maximum reading on low-limit BMI calculators. They gave you the number they had. I suspect the true value is much higher.

"It's not 23.3.... it's 15,000!!"
Does something need to be done about repeated thread subjects?Gonna start a thread called what are the most repeated thread subjects in GD...
Tho it requires a little thought.
I imagine you would have had a fair amount of muscle then. In that case 24.7 is excellent.

It would probably say you were obese as you lift.

Long live the fat people!
Indeed, it's just a formula, I believe I read somewhere it's original/intended purpose was to be used on populations of people, tens if not hundreds of thousands of people, not on an individual basis.

Ahh yes, I love the old "BMI is crap because some people aren't accurately represented by it so my fat arse clearly isn't"
BMI works for probably 95% of the population. If it doesn't work for you then you are either athletic and have more muscle than your average bear or you just don't like hearing the truth. For most people who **** talk BMI its massively the latter.

22.3 at 12st 6 and 6'2". Age 40.
I'm 3-6 lbs over what I was during most of my 20s and 30s, but did get up to about 13st 6 a year ago, a BMI of 24.1. Had to tweak the diet a little, a few bad habits had crept in since working from home kicked off with COVID.

Right on the threshold between healthy weight and overweight here. Says I could do with losing a few pounds. Cheeky swines

23.5 apparently. 6 foot and 80kg.

Perfect weight at BMI just under 20, if I was 7 foot, but I'm not and it is not.
I'll concentrate on growing taller, doing ok with getting wider
