Question

Healthy eating, exercise, and good health care are important for all adults, whether or not they are overweight. Indeed, for some people it is possible the BMI cutoffs should be altered in certain circumstances. In your opinion, what mitigating factors should be considered before a person is advised to achieve a lower BMI?

Answer 1

Answer:

BMI does not tell you how much fat or muscle you have, which is why a really muscular person can have the BMI of an overweight or obese person. BMI does not tell you how healthy you are.

Explanation:

This is why doctors have full physical exams to determine both your external and internal health(e.g. blood work for cholesterol).

Answer 2

A BMI does not account for muscle so a muscular person could be considered over weight or obese. Before being advised to achieve a lower BMI a doctor should consult a physical health exam as well as possible blood work or other tests.
