Hopefully one that's considered robust

It's body mass index. Very important when it comes to getting jobs I hear.

Don't forget that a robust BMI prevents you ever catching a viral or bacterial infection. :cool:

Checked mine for the craic and it's 22 but it means nothing to me, I really couldn't care less what it is, as long as I'm feeling good and keeping well. I certainly wouldn't consider it when making any food or exercise decisions.

23.7 apparently. If I can hold it there, thereabouts for the next 20 or so years, I'll be doing well.

18, on the light side but the mirror tells me that I'm on the nose weight wise for my height (which is v. small).

Actually it can be important, our Flight Attendants (Female only) are measured every so often, they will be grounded if they exceed a certain limit, or fired if they cannot come within the required limit after a period of time. As for me, if i get up towards 35, I will have to undergo all sorts of sleep apnea tests and stress threadmill tests every year, not to mention that insurance companies wont quote for loss of profession insurance if over 30.

Is this true? I suppose they wouldn't be able to fit down the aisles. What is the limit?

In answer to the OP I am definitely overweight according to bmi scale but... 8 months pregnant I am ok with that.

Think I have come across an alternative universe here... Rarely heard of "body mass index" and no idea re mine and no interest...

Ah the good old BMI. Fake science. The index that doesn't take into account a persons actual build. For example all the Irish rugby team are overweight/obese according to this bunkum

6ft tall a shade under 14 stone and overweight according to this

Divide by two, be grand

I'm currently 26, but started back training, don't want to be premiership footballer either, but mid 20s would be good.

You just have to accept that the BMI gurus could be right and you're morbidly obese. I'm 6ft and a half inch, weighing 11 St 10lb, so you have to be two stone overweight according to the quacks supporting BMI as the measure.


All nonsense of course.

It's actually very useful for population health studies and as a general guide.

The amount of people who fall into obese categories due to their huge muscle mass is statistically insignificant.

Individual stats = useless
Population / large studies = very useful

fancy pigeon

6ft 2, BMI of 26

At 20 (or certainly the early 20's) it was a BMI of 19

Lets get this figure over 30

I have a BMI of 28 which is over weight. I'm 6ft 4 in and 106 kilos. I'm far far from over weight. The scale is completely outdated and doesn't take into account muscle mass etc.

This.

Statistically while there's a small chance you with your 30 BMI could be a pro bodybuilder or rugby player, or have some rare hormonal problem which causes you to be obese, it's far more likely that you simply spend too much time on your hole cramming too many cream buns into your face.

Count your blessings, you lucky sylph! I come in at 32.3, and probably more if I had weighed myself in my XXL boxers and t-shirt!

Brian O'Driscoll (in his playing days) would be classed as obese according to this scale.
