BMI Correlate to Health

A person whose BMI indicates they are overweight or obese is generally considered unhealthy. But 2016 research suggested that this was incorrect for 75 million Americans.

  • Researchers found that 54 million Americans that were classed as overweight or obese were perfectly healthy when they considered the cardiometabolic measures (blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, etc.)
  • 21 Million people were classed normal in terms of BMI, but other cardiometabolic tests indicated they were unhealthy.
