BMI charts may not be suitable for athletes or individuals with high muscle mass, as they can misclassify them as overweight or obese due to muscle density. Additionally, older adults may not accurately reflect health risks since BMI does not account for fat distribution or muscle loss. Pregnant or breastfeeding women also shouldn't rely solely on BMI, as body composition changes significantly during these periods. Lastly, individuals with certain medical conditions or unique body types may require alternative assessments for a more accurate health evaluation.
