Changes to BMI requirements

[Ninja_Stoker]

The following BMI parameters apply with immediate effect:

Age 16 to <18: BMI 17 Minimum, Maximum 27
Age 18-32: BMI Minimum 18, Maximum 30

Those aged 18+ with a BMI between 30-32 can be passed fit if waist is 94cms or less (males), or 80 cms or less (females). BMI over 32 - PMU until criteria is met.

This will certainly benefit the older lads no doubt.

Me being one of them BMI 30.9 waist 94cm exact!

Any reason why this change has been made?

Not entirely sure on the background but it applies to the RAF too.

Presumably it's a move toward standing belly to belly rather than toe to toe

Thank God for this, I'm under a time limitation due to my age and had been shifting the weight as fast as I could. This will let me focus on other areas too.

thanks for the update, i dont really understand why they still use the BMI to be honest, how many times does something have to be proved to be wrong and irrelevant for people to stop using it
