 I think that is accurate only if you talk about how people carry their weight and weigh distribution. Someone that is 175 lbs and carries their weight in their hips,thighs and butt probably is more healthier  that somoen that carries their weight in the midsection at 175  and that was never accounted for before.
However, 'm a "white woman" so to speak when it comes to body types so for me and my shape the current BMI is probably correct lol.

We also have to remember that some of us "light weights" may not have gotten approved for the surgery if there were two different BMI charts.

From what I'm taking from the article I think they're comparing like bodies. It says

The discrepancies, Bray said, are due to variations in bone mineral content, hydration state and the density of lean mass in different ethnic groups.

I'm very proportionate from top to bottom, def not a black girl shape. But I must have more muscle mass or heavier bones because most of the people I see on the other boards that weigh the same as me are in much larger sizes. I'm thinking there is truth to this article. But who knows? lol

Mayn - Ionknow.... Shortstack or whatever she callin herself these days ain't really one to be comparing to - she packing heat too.......

  and um - even in that pick...... I'm over here droolin a lil bit - so you still packin...... LOL!!!!!  But that's a good thing....... but umm - yea.  You still workin with some extra - now, to really evaluate one would need to do a 'hands on' inspection......

Aight aight - I'm backing down!  LMAOOOOOOO  but you need to quit fronting in these threads!
