However BMI more than 30 shows that people are obese. Because some people work out, BMI can not be the right measurement for those people. In these situations, BMI can be high as these people have too much muscles. Their waistline is measured to diagnose if they are overweight or obese. Cultural inheritance also is a factor to decide healthy weight (BMI). Being overweight is considered healthy in some cultures.
