Whats your Body Mass Index ???

[Koovie]

Just want to see the BMI of the average PDF member:

Calculate your BMI here, it will give you an idea about your health level:

Hope it helps a bit.
Calculate Your BMI - Metric BMI Calculator


BMI range – kg/m2 Health Risk
27.5 and above High risk of developing heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes
23.0 to 27.4 Moderate risk of developing heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes
18.5 to 22.9 Low Risk (healthy range)
18.4 and below Risk of developing problems such as nutritional deficiency and osteoporosis


My BMI is 19.9


PS: There is a serious flaw in this system though: It does not account for over average muscle weight, means if you have a huge mass of muscles and a low body fat percentage, the BMI will wrongly tell you are obese.

BMI is a really archaic way of defining body health. The main issue is that it does not take muscle tone into account.

Thats true, but since most people arent bodybuilders, bmi should be fine.

I'm saying that overall it is an outdated system (some would say flawed from its inception) that has poor accuracy even in people that are not body builders.

You are right it doesn't ask for thin, medium or heavy built of human body.
