I am 5:8 and 165 and I am right on the high BMI (25+) according to my doctor. Funny thing is most people say I am skinny and need to gain weight. I think that a lot has to do with individual body types I have pretty big quads and calves.

I do believe that this does mean we are in trouble and is a sign of low testosterone and perhaps too many carbs and not enough exercise. Road march troops.

Concur. The BMI made sense in 1900 when few lifted weights and protein was expensive. In the 1980s at the Recruit Depot in San Diego, the first step for determining whether a recruit was over weight was the BMI and the second step was for a corpsman would actually look at the recruit. That second step prevented a lot of mislabels
