Can you elaborate? BMI is an indicator on how long you'll live?
More you weigh, harder it is on the body. Muscle is great but it adds pounds. It’s just a metric to use and doesn’t account for everything. A low bmi person could have terrible cardio health while a 200lb 6’0 person could run all day. The 200lbs will subtract from longevity but the increased fitness will add to longevity.

not true for muscle. bodyfat percentage is a much bigger factor and there are no studies showing highly muscled individuals corolate to shorter life spans or that high amounts of SMM contribute negatively in anyway to all cause mortaility. Actually all the studies show opposite.
i got in to the same arguement with the doctors at barbell medicine when i made same claim as you. they challenged me to find any study at all that shows that....there arent any
needless to say i lost
