I thought BMI was generally replaced with BMI + WC? BMI is certainly a useful population tool and quick heuristic, but lacks depth. But I’ve been out of this topic for a while.
I’m very confident my knee pain comes from load carrying. If I add the average load carried to my bodyweight, I had a BMI of >40 for over a decade, definitely falls on line with your theory!
I would guess external load doesn’t have the same heart effect as body mass, but again, out of my depth.
