guys BMI is an obsolete concept! days are gone when person's weight is an indicator for risk of disease or otherwise.

The actual health indicator is your percentage body fat ( which is measured by a hand held instrument )

Males fat % <20

females%<25-30

both of these are for sedentary workers.

Ok ... now to make my point clear that BMI is obsolete or misleading concept, take a football player, a 6'2" football player weighs 230 pounds but his BMI is ard 29 which is unhealthy and hie has morderate to high risk of having a coronary disease..but his fat percentage is less than 10%. His weight was mostly due to his lean muscle mass. Hence Weight and Height does not determine the health factor to the desired level.
