BMI is not a fully reliable tool as far as its capability to estimate the fatness or obesity of a person. The main limitation is that BMI does not consider body composition. A person who is a body-builder may have a BMI of 30 but not obese, because of higher percentage of muscle mass and lower percentage of body fat. A more accurate method is to assess body fat by various methods. Also the waist circumference is a better measure of obesity than BMI. Another method is waist to hip ratio. So one should be cautious while using body mass index
