BMI isn't a terribly scientific way of determining whether or not a person is overweight anyway. It overestimates fat in active/athletic people while underestimating it in excessively sedentary folks.

Body-fat percentage is a better way of doing it, but it's a much harder statistic to gather since it requires equipment. BMI is way easier to make a story out of.
