| Do you think BMI is the best indicator of a person's health status? Why or why not? |

Well, I don't think BMI is the best indicator of a person's health status because
BMI has to do with a person's weight and height as a measurement of health. It leaves other facts about health status behind like sex heart disease, body composition.
BMI does noth measure the muscles mass, fat content, body composition,bone density, mental state so it BMI can not be considered as the best indicator of health status.
Human bones and muscles are more denser than fate, a muscular person will have a high BMI and does not have too much fat.
BMI is really good at calculating the body fat of humans but has a nothing to do with bones and muscles.
