It probably is close enough that it's still in the healthy category. Is waist size versus height a better factor then BMI, yeah, probably. However, I knew a guy who probably fit into the slim category, that had a cholesterol so high that his doctor immediately put him on meds for it. Me, I've been on the heavy side for over 30 years, yet my doctor runs the blood tests, looks at the numbers and says, everything is well within spec. so who is the unhealthy one?
