> If you're working out and pretty athletic idk why you'd stress about your bmi being a little high.

If you’re not working out and fat, BMI is still not a good descriptor of “how fat” or “how consequentially fat”.

And yet you’ll still get scientists mapping out correlations and then it’s a shitty analysis because it does not show what the study assumes.
