Using BMI to evaluate whether you are overweight /underweight is utterly misleading! It is the Fat content in the body that people should be worried about! This can be done by blood test and machines which reads your fat content from your sweat!

BMI is very misleading, because Muscles and Bones are much heavier than fat, so if your BMI says you are overweight, it does not "always" mean you are fat!

I have discussed these issues long back.
