BMI is absolutely ridiculous, im 5 ft 9, weigh 86kg, but if I didn't live a healthy lifestyle and workout i'd probably be a perfect weight...instead I have a higher BMI than 64% of people 15-29 in my country and 94% in the world.

**** it, i'm just going to bench the world.

It's not much use for athletes for sure, but for the majority of the population its ok.

i guessed my weight and height because i really have no idea, think around 11ish stone. but my results returned about mid 60% so i know i got something drastically wrong. It also said i should be jamaican. Im a bit of short arse and although not podgy, i aint the slimmest, but correct me if i'm wrong, my genual perception of a jamaican are tall skinny guys who love the ganja. theres would not be at mid 60 % surely

The BMI system of today is mre or less based on the same tests which are now over 100 years old. Lifestyles, diet and a million other factors have changed in that time so judge for yourselves how accurate the results are.

Did you know that in fashion circles there is something called dress size inflation? This basically means that a size 8 today is much bigger than a size 8 50 years ago. As long as we convince ourselves that we're in shape I suppose that's the main thing.

I would have thought it was the opposite
