It was originally developed for statistical analysis of populations and to characterize their morphology.

It does not take into account the distribution between muscle mass, bone mass and fat mass. It is particularly unsuitable for athletes and short people. For example, a person measuring 1.90 m and weighing 110 kg would have a BMI of around 30, even though their muscle and bone mass account for a large proportion of their weight. BMI is therefore unable to distinguish fat weight from muscle weight, which is a major limitation to its use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">A study published in <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 15pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Nutrients<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 15pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"> shows that the higher the BMI, the greater the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 15pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">food dependency<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 15pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"> (25%) compared with those of normal weight (11%).
