If you refer to the simple geometric principle that volume is proportional to height^3, then you'll see that 6'8" and 300 lbs is equivalent to 6'0" and 219 lbs., or 5'6" and 168 lbs. That's normal for fit men of heavy build at those heights. that's not how I remember health class- http://www.intmed.mcw.edu/clincalc/body.html 6' 8" 300# = BMI of 33 6' 0" 219# = BMI of 29.7 5' 6" 168# = BMI of 27.1 Not equivalent in my book Equivalent would be: 6' 0" 243# BMI of 33 5' 6" 205# BMI of 33 Just an observation. BMI is intrinsically flawed because it is geometrically erroneous. What BMI purports to say is that a 1x1x1 cube is "underweight", a 2x2x2 cube is "normal", and a 3x3x3 cube is "morbidly obese". That's ridiculous right on its face. Chalo Colina |
