| Guys coming offshore have to get regular medicals and panic at the thought of there BMI being too high.
I always explain to them that it is there purely as a guideline, the grouping and bands are too poorly defined to be accurate.
What you need to do is have something more accurate in conjunction with the BMI like a 10 year CHD (Coronary Heart diesease) risk calculation.
That will give you a truer reflection and a rather sobering figure of how likely you are to have a CHD or stroke episode in the next 10 years!
