BMI caters to people who aren't active or athletic, because face it, most people aren't. Therefore, yes, someone who isn't active or athletic at 6' and over 83 kg is probably more likely to be unhealthy. It's absolutely nuts to think that someone 6' and over 83 kg who carries some muscle mass is at more risk to be unhealthy. My guess is that if you find people active/athletic with muscle at 6' 200 lbs vs. someone 6' 70.5 kg, you'll find the 6' 200 lbs people would have better results when testing their overall health.
It's utterly hilarious that 6' 140 lbs would be considered "normal" under BMI. The average male that is 6' and 140 lbs is going to be as weak as a kitten.
even cecil peoples would score it 30-29 for the kitten
