The BMI is only valid even for a subset of Northern Europeans. For people that are taller it's invalid. It's also invalid for other ethnic groups.
Peformance is a far more useful metric. It also separates out the anorexics from those that are genuinely fit.
Those BMI numbers also originally arose from a time of global economic catastrophe. Their value should be doubted simply for that.
