Please note that "body mass index" is not terribly useful for anyone
aside from sedentary populations. Just because it says you're
'overweight' doesn't mean you are, and just because it says you're NOT
overweight isn't an automatic reason to relax.
Nonsense. If you fall within the recommended ranges, you know you're
better off (statistically) than those who don't. It's as simple as
that.
