A study from the American Journal of Medicine shows that people with more muscle mass are less likely to die prematurely.This is a finding shown in other studies.
The BMI (body mass index) includes muscle and fat which can be misleading. Many NFL football players who have high muscle mass and low body fat of 3-5% would be considered obese if using the BMI!
Has anyone had their body fat percentage calculated?
