Where did BMI start?
Precursors to the BMI ratings used by some health professionals were used by insurance companies in the process of `rating` their clients. BMI is the `brainchild` (arguable) of Quetelet, a mathematician; it is an estimate of ratings of healthy or unhealthy weight that is considered crude by kinesiologists and sophisticated health professionals because it does not take into account body composition (i.e., is the weight fat mass or fat-free mass?).
What BMI indicates good health?
