From: these mist covered mountains are a home now for me.
The BMI method is well out of date - however I suggest it should probably be used as an initial guide, but then have 'Common Sense' applied if the patient should fall outside the normal ranges. Especially if the person is of muscular build.

Common Sense. But that will never happen.
