Determine your body fitness = calculating your BMI "In my opinion"
so what is BMI ?
Body Mass Index (BMI) can be used to indicate if you are overweight, obese, underweight or normal. It will, however, overestimate fatness in people who are muscular or atheletic. Because of these problems, this body mass index calculator shows extra statistics to help you be informed and judge your own body compared to others of the same height and age.

My BMI is ..... what about it ?
Women tend to believe they look their best at values between 20 to 22 and men are usually satisfied with a BMI of 23 to 25. If your BMI is between 17 to 22, your life expectancy is longer than average. You don't need to lose weight.
If your BMI is between 23 and 25, you are not considered overweight by most people. But if your BMI is 26 or more, that's not good. But you knew that already.
what about BMI world statics ?

If you have Another information about BMI please supply us with it.
thank you in advance and I hope My first thread here in this great forums contain useful information. and I hope you have good BMI.
I also disagree with the use of BMI to determine health and fitness. Has anyone heard of Dr. Mehmet Oz's of simplified measurement of a healthy body (remember, this is just for simplicity sake): waist measurement for female= or less than 32 inches; for males= or less than 37 inches. He explains this in his book "you on a diet."
Anyhow, does anyone have any comment on this (re:waist measurement)?
I would say it is better than BMI, but I still think electric bodyfat composition measurements or water buoyancy tests are most accurate.
