It's a measure designed for population studies rather than individuals. If an individual is obese, there are other ways to detect that. Furthermore, BMI in itself doesn't increase the risk of dying early (at least in old people). Other things like being immobile, smoking, drinking, etc do. A person with high BMI that leads a healthy life won't die sooner than someone with low BMI doing the same thing. Insurance companies disagree with you. Ok. My colleague is a researcher in statistics and he's been doing a population study on this to determine the effect exercise has on people's life expectancy. I'll take his results over insurance companies' opinions. --- Everything has an end, except for the sausage. It has two. <cite>scar the 1 posted [p:899199789] in Fat accept...
