No , I am not american! What kind of a question is that? Very grown up!
The reason I ask is because in Europe people are walking away from the BMI index because it does not work for all types of Human beings!
Myself I have a BMI of 29.5. But I have almost no Bodyfat. I have never broken a bone in my life! So the weight sits in my skeleton!
So if the upper limit would be 29 ( as it is in the rest of china) I would fail my medical although I am considered to be in perfect health!
In Europe they start measuring now your waist as that is the place where the dangerous fat stocks up. If your waist is below 1m you are fine!
So please, watch out when jumping to conclusions...
