The BMI calculation is a farce. A short person can be shaped like a pumpkin and have a low BMI. A tall person can be a string-bean and be classified as morbidly obese.

Neither is possible.

Show me in the BMI calculation were the volume is taken into account.

A six foot person would have eight times the volume of a three foot person so should weigh eight times what the three foot person weighs.

There is no cubic function in the formula.

Do you believe in mathematics?
