Well if you're 18% bodyfat with a BMI just a hair over 25, then you probably work out.
The biggest thing we have to get out of the way in these threads is that the vast majority, I mean, just about everyone in this country does not exercise regularly.
So, in almost every case, that overweight BMI is an accurate label of an unhealthy person.

New CDC study finds that nearly 80% of people hospitalized for Covid-19 were overweight or obese
That's not going to stop the O-T Karens from telling you to "just wear ya mask, y'all" and "just get ya government injections y'all" and "if ya just do what your government tells you, they will give you back your freedoms".
I've yet to hear Governor Boucher give any sort of qualifications for ending the Covidian retardation. You?

The fat acceptance thing really is a huge issue.
I'm currently hovering in the 175 range, wear 32s comfortably, and do heavy weight training at least 4 days a week and understand I'm overweight. The fact that these fatties wearing 38-40s and XL+ shirts believe they're not overweight, or at least pretend like they aren't, blows my mind.

Is there a better metric than BMI that accounts for more than just height and weight?

Yes sir. As they say, you can't out run or out train a bad diet. Abs are made in the kitchen. The gym is just a supplement to a healthy diet.

5’11 and 186 lbs is a 25.9 BMI, or “overweight.” If this hypothetical dude lost just 7 lbs down to 179, he’d be in the “normal” category.
But that isn't a fat content analysis. You could be incredibly in shape and jacked, and BMI will call you "overweight". Technically, i guess they are correct, but muscle is healthy mass, fat is not. BMI is a poor measure of health, IMO.

Why is it always worded stupidly? Sure you can be overweight and not necessarily obese, but you can't be obese and not overweight. These are not two drastically different categories that need to be stated as such. There is one unifying term that covers them both.... Fat.

BMI is great for the vast majority of Americans. 90%+

I dont think people who are over on BMI, but can see their ABs from working out hard are really worried about being overweight on the BMI chart

Yes, but BMI works just fine for like 97% of people.
Id contribute a good sum to a gofundme for OT dexa scans and you have to post your results.

Meh, I don't know about that. Maybe I'm just in denial, but I think it's incorrect to say that just because someone is 6' 185lbs they are at a higher risk of health issues than someone that is 6' 170lbs. What if that person with a 25.1 BMI has a resting heart rate of 59, max heart rate of 193, can run a sub 7-minute mile and bench press 1.5x bodyweight?

This isn't necessarily true. High weights dependent of muscle mass cause health problems.

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.

Being overweight increases all cause mortality. That's a fact, you can caveat it any way you want, but being overweight is worse than not being overweight.

They are in the minority of people their height/weight.
I'd also say they need to improve their bench. 275 at 185 is weak.

Yeah, sure. And what if the guy happens to be a professional football player? Listen- you're talking about 1% of the population. You really think the average American is running 6 minute miles and benching 1.5 of their body weight?
Stop it. The average 6' and 185 person is overweight.

Definition of obese is kind of dumb these days
BMI Categories:
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
Overweight = 25–29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
You probably mean overweight
