I pulled out my special needs handy textbook, "Physiology of Sport and Exercise" By Wilmore and Costill to get the official definition. BMI was described in the glossary follows: "BMI is a measurement of body overweight or obesity determined by dividing weight (in kilograms) by height (in meters) squared." The text went on to say that you're special needs considered overweight if you're special needs female and your BMI is 27.3 or greater or if you're male and you're BMI is 27.8 or higher. It also said that BMI correlates highly with body composition and is a better indicator of fitness than your weight alone. If you're sedentary, then I'll buy the part about BMI being better than going just by your body weight alone, but the part about BMI correlating well to body composition is complete hogwash! |

How do the two correlate? Mary Jane Beck Yes, there is a huge difference between body fat and body mass index (BMI). Body fat is a much better indicator of your health, fitness level, disease risk and ideal body weight than BMI. In fact, Shape up America, the anti obesity campaign started by Dr. C. Everett Koop, recently published a press release pointing out the shortcomings of BMI. According to the Shape up America website, BMI missclassifies one out of four people and should not be used by athletes. |
