Am I big-boned
Many older people get smaller, but keep a stable weight. This means that the BMI can increase significantly. Is this bad and is it necessary to lose weight?
Bigger bones of course weigh more, but the total weight of the bones in your body doesn’t make a huge difference if you have large bones or not. In fact the weigh of your bones does not differ much between people. How big and heavy your bones are mostly depend on your height. The BMI chart uses your body height to determine your BMI, so the outcome is adjusted for your height.
If the BMI chart outcome is overweight or obese, your bones are not the reason. If your BMI result is overweight it means that you have more weight than what’s good for your health. It has nothing to do with the weigh of your bones so it’s not a reasonable excuse for being overweight.
Use a BMI Chart or Body Mass Index Chart to find your healthy weight.
The BMI formula is used for men, women and children. For children there are other BMI values than for adults. For adults the Body Mass Index is based on your weight and height and it tells you whether you have a healthy body weight.
