BMI calculators donīt count muscle mass. Any person who does some physical training has some muscle and it weights more than fat.

I am 185cm tall , around 85 kg and there is not much fat on my body. Still my BMI is almost 25.

Such studies should not rely only on BMI which in itself is an old and unreliable method.

BMI is an indicator for average people and you're not average , so don't expect it to work for you :)

Hehe, 184ish and 85is kg's, no belly, and I guess that's okay for someone born in the mid sixties?
Oh, muscles....yes, some :D
