I've long thought the BMI chart to be a poor indicator, but it's something. I'm about 187 cm tall, and so that puts me just inside the healthy range. Another kilogram or two and I'd be considered overweight, hmmm.
The way BMI is calculated fails to take the third dimension into account. One's BMI is less meaningful for those at the tall end of the spectrum. It exaggerates the degree to which tall people are overweight.

Yep. Even worse if you are tall and carry muscle over fat :)
I'm tall and carry a fair bit of fat - I can't tell how much muscle I have - so I must be in the worst possible of all worlds. :)
