Just a word about BMI. I have seen posts here that have been very critical of the stupid medical world and phy they don’t know how inaccurate the BMI is. Let me just say that a little reading and self education may be required. The BMI was developed as a quick screening tool that can be applied to people all over the world. Not just for YOU or the person who runs marathons or the construction worker who has muscles calorie. But for all people’s everywhere. It is a screening tool for risk of diabetes, heart disease, some cancers and risk of death from a cardiac event. They have long known that there are certain populations of people that significantly feel out of those quidelines. Now with genetic information to aid them, we now know several groups that this is true of.
#1 ASIAN POPULATION—- much more at risk at a lower BMI than a Caucasian person even though they are genetically slender and at a lower weight.
#2. A BLACK PERSON with the same BMI as a Caucasian person may actually carry less true body fat.
#3 ASIAN INDIANS may have less body fat than a causation with the same BMI

The SBMI is 0-100 scale that includes ethnic considerations.. Apparently it is being considered to develop separate BMI charts for different ethnic populations. read up a little on this subject if you are so inclined. Reading and information is power.
