Key insights

BMI is a population screen, not a diagnosis

BMI doesn't distinguish muscle from fat or account for body composition. Athletes often show as "overweight" by BMI alone despite low body fat.

Waist circumference is more predictive

For health risk, waist circumference (over 40" men / 35" women) and waist-to-hip ratio are stronger predictors than BMI alone.

Within healthy range

Maintain through regular movement, balanced eating, and adequate sleep. The boring fundamentals work.

Recommended actions(2)

Track waist circumference monthly

Medium priority

Easier to measure than body fat, more predictive than BMI alone. Target under 40" men / 35" women.

Build muscle alongside any weight goal

Medium priority

Resistance training 2-3x per week preserves metabolically active muscle mass, improves insulin sensitivity, and supports bone density at any BMI.
