- jerlam 3mo agoIt's still lighter than the average American BMI, which is around 29. On average, Americans are classified as overweight.
- maerF0x0 3mo agoYes thats what i was referring to, you're both correct on your respective angles.
- tryagainian 3mo agoMy BMI is 28.7 at 181cm and 94kg at 45.25 years old. Am I overweight, not far off obesity? You probably wouldn’t say so if you saw me. BMI is mostly only a useful metric when it is.
- maerF0x0 3mo agoI'm with ya at 29.4. I carry a lot more muscle than the average populace, so I'm both high BMI and appear to be "fit" to casual onlookers. But dexa says 26% which is about double what I would like.
- flextheruler 3mo agoHow do you conclude you carry more muscle than the average?
- maerF0x0 3mo agoThe scorer (computer) on my dexa scan noted I carried "elite" (ie high percentile) muscle mass.
