Now I'm in the comments. Think I found the first fatty that came looking for an answer her BMI chart clearly wasn't giving... "By the waist to height ratio I am considered a risk, yet my cholesterol is very low and my blood pressure low. Those say I am in excellent shape yet this ratio indicates I am in a problem mode. I recently had a tread mill test where the Dr said my chances of having a heart attack in the next 7 years was so small it could not be measured. In the end, all we have are a bunch of indicators and that is all they are is indicators but no absolute measurement tied to longevity is available."  As we can see, our favorite excuse, the famous bloodtests came through quicker than expected!
