Quizplus · Accepted Answer

BMI measures don't accurately represent body fatness for athletes with a large percentage of muscle because muscle is denser than fat and weighs more. BMI may underestimate their body fatness. Similarly, individuals with little muscle mass may have more body fat than indicated by their BMI. BMI may also overestimate body fatness for individuals with large, dense bones. Furthermore, dehydrated individuals may have an inaccurate BMI because dehydration can cause a temporary decrease in weight. Therefore, all the given options; athletes with a large percentage of muscle, individuals with little muscle mass, individuals with large, dense bones, and dehydrated individuals, will not have their body fat accurately represented by BMI measures.
