What the WHO, NIH, AHA et al say about BMI
- it's not a perfectly prescriptive bell curve
- Diet/lifestyle, genetics, [waist circumference : height ratio] are better risk indicators
- BMI range of lowest risk is differential by sex: 27-28 BMI for men, 31-32 for women
- - Both significantly higher than the traditional "healthy range" (18-25)!
- - So whoever dreamed up the BMI ranges, apparently based it on something other than mortality.
:: For a 5'9" subject, that makes the "lowest risk" weight range ~183-190#; for 5'10", 188-195#.
- Interpolating for the hyper-average 5'9.5" American male: 184.5-192.5#.
- NB lowest risk is associated with slightly higher BMI in older adults (so-called "obesity paradox").
Moving the balance of body composition from fat to muscle is still a healthy move; but trimming down to 190# feels so, so much more attainable than even the top (171#) of traditional "healthy" target range.
