My Chiropractor passed away

[CHenry]

He just turned 72, probably had a BMI of 5. He ate healthy, played golf and hocky with his older friends. Elk hunted every year - so very active.
He always said, statistically, those who get chiropractic care are 85% more likely to live to 100. Guess he was the 15%.
Sad, I been seeing him since I was 17.

BMI of 5?

BMI of 5?

Body Mass Index...he was the opposite of fat and I may have exaggerated if you know me at all, you'd get that.

Just proves once again, that you have no guarantee

A BMI above 20 means you are Obiesie according to what I have read.
I dont know if I agree, my BMI is 26 and I'm not fat looking. Its based on your height to weight ratio, not taking into account if the person works out (muscle weighs more than fat).
I work out.

I’m familiar with the tool. One of its limitations is it doesn’t factor lean muscle mass vs adipose. For that reason, those with significant lean muscle mass can be incorrectly labeled as overweight. Having said that, it can still be a decent health predictor for certain chronic conditions.
A BMI of 5 would be lethal.

Overweight is actually considered >25, so you’re pretty dang close to normal, regardless. Since you have a greater lean muscle mass, body fat % would probably be a better indicator of your health (if you’re curious).
