So, I have a BMI of 53, and should be dead, according to this article.
I am the dood on the right, below - the one on the left is my father.
Complete junk science.
Its in the genes. Either you got it or you don't.
I think you might want to recalculate your BMI. There is no way you'll have a BMI of 53 if you're 6' and 215 lbs. Going by my own stats, I'd say you're high 20s, a little overweight by BMI standards, but nothing much to worry about.
When he was 98, George Burns was asked in an interview what his doctor thought of his lifestyle:
Interviewer: Mr. Burns, is it true that you smoke?
George Burns: I smoke 10 to 15 cigars a day, at my age I have to hold on to something.
I: Is it true that you drink?
GB: I will have 3 or 4 martinis a day.
I: Is it true that you date women less than half your age?
GB: Two or three at a time, and sometimes, they're much younger than that!
I: Does your doctor approve of your lifestyle?
GB: No, my doctor's dead!

Your 29.2 which is overweight and near obesity.
Your BMI is actually 29. You goofed on the formula.
