BMI is a poor measure of health, IMO.
BMI is great for the vast majority of Americans. 90%+
Yeah, BMI isn’t as effective at the individual level. It’s a community measurement and is based on averages. If you have a high BMI, though, the likelihood that you need to drop some weight is pretty high. Few people are so muscle bound that they can justify being “overweight” on the BMI index.

People several underestimate how hard it is to build muscle tissue. I can promise you Joe Blow isn't going to be muscle bound from hitting planet fitness for 45 minutes 4 times a week.
It takes years and years of consistent training to build muscle.

Shitting on the BMI scale is hilarious when all you have to do is look at the population to know this country has a ton of lazy fat people.
Go to Target/Costco/Wal-Mart/Lowe's and see if there's even one available scooter available for use. Fat heifers' and hogs wheeling around every isle.
Like someone else mentioned earlier, Covid was the perfect opportunity to hammer home the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Educate them about diet and exercise and incentivize weight loss instead of handing out free donuts or a McDonald's big mac for everyone that got tested.
