Some say it's really flawed.  Age , Gender and some otherfactors are taken into account by the so called SmartBMI calculators.eg: <a href="https://www.smartbmicalculator.com/" target="_blank">https://www.smartbmicalculator.com/</a>Still it's not accurate. Because a BMI can’t differentiate fat mass from lean mass, or subcutaneous fat from visceral fat.  You need MRI/CT for that kind of accuracy.Some others are of the opinion that the Waist-to-Hip Ratio is a better indicator than a BMI. There's a WHO Expert Consultative Report on it. (Check WHO Site) There are waist-to-hip calculators on the Net,Whatever the case maybe, (Waist-to-Hip or BMI), the expert opinion is using just one formula is not enough to get a sense of how a person’s weight could be affecting their health.  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/oo.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":oo:" title="Oo    :oo:" data-shortname=":oo:" /></blockquote>
