Erm that's higher than the healthy BMI range, so not "fairly light". >25 is considered overweight.

It's still lighter than the average American BMI, which is around 29. On average, Americans are classified as overweight.

My 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.

  • I'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.
