My BMI is 28.7 at 181cm and 94kg at 45.25 years old.

Am I overweight, not far off obesity?

You probably wouldn’t say so if you saw me.

BMI is mostly only a useful metric when it is.



I'm with ya at 29.4. I carry a lot more muscle than the average populace, so I'm both high BMI and appear to be "fit" to casual onlookers. But dexa says 26% which is about double what I would like.


How do you conclude you carry more muscle than the average?


The scorer (computer) on my dexa scan noted I carried "elite" (ie high percentile) muscle mass.
