I would not say that it measures mass which would include muscle and bone as well as fat so if you had a lot of muscle mass BMI alone would be incorrect.It is a means of measuring but not the only one and it does not cover all things.You could have a good BMI and have a crap load of bad cholesterol in your body and still have a heart attack.That being said for most people if they have a low BMI they more than likely are skinny as a rail and if they have a high one are as fat as William H. Taft with a dollop of sour cream.
