Always look at different wages of health and fitness. There is no magic indicator. Here are some problems with the BMI index (used in and of itself):
1. It does not account for higher weight due to higher muscle density. It may "penalize" people for being muscular.
2. People may make mistakes in their weight and height measurements.
3. Does not necessarily correlate to fat percentage.
4. Height may be measured differently in different cultures or areas.
See the previous BMI blog.
My third book, Pocket Guide to Fitness, is available on http://www.authorhouse.com and http://www.amazon.com. If you look up my name on those Web sites, you will find my other books The Boy in a Wheelchair and Life, Work and Play: Poems and Short Stories. These two books are on my Web site http://www.louizapatsis.com.
