BMI (Body Mass Index) does not account for muscle mass, so a stronger individual with more muscle may have a higher BMI compared to someone with a similar height and weight but less muscle. However, a higher BMI does not necessarily indicate better health; it's important to consider body composition and overall fitness. Stronger individuals may have a higher BMI while still being healthier than those with a lower BMI but higher body fat. Ultimately, BMI is just one of many indicators of health.
