The BMI formula uses weight and height to estimate body fat, but it doesn't account for variations in body composition. African-Americans tend to have higher muscle mass and bone density compared to other populations, leading the BMI to classify them as overweight or obese when they may actually be healthier. This can result in an overestimation of obesity rates in the African-American population.
The same height and weight is the same BMI, no matter what your age. Sedentary people are likely to gain weight over time, and so older sedentary people are likely to have a higher BMI (higher weight).
