Wow, depressing moment of the day. by merlin2008-07-29 13:15:22
  What's with the hate on the BMI? by DesiredUsername2008-07-29 14:33:19
    Because it's like saying by subbywan2008-07-29 14:42:26
      But your height/weight do have an effect on health by DesiredUsername2008-07-29 14:51:38
        I agree with you that it is a guideline but, by Classic_Jon2008-07-29 15:07:15
          "... 6' 3" should weigh 190 to 200lbs ..." by run.dll 2008-07-29 20:57:40
6'3" is 75" which is 1.905 m.

A BMI of 20 would correspond to 72.6 kg (160.1 lb) (healthy beanpole)
A BMI of 25 would correspond to 90.7 kg (200.1 lb) (try not to exceed)
A BMI of 30 would correspond to 108.9 kg (240.0 lb) (decidedly unhealthy)

This gives a healthy range of 40 lb, which takes in a lot of variation in body type.

I have another post in this thread that links to an article which makes reference to medical journals.
