Body Mass Index. The higher the number the fatter you are.

Not really true. The BMI is a slightly screwed up indication of health/fitness/fatness.

A 5'11" person at 180 lbs has a BMI of about 25, not fat. Now take an NFL running back who is 5'10", 195 lbs (mostly muscle mass) has a BMI over 27.

Does that make him fat?

Where a NFL guy it's most muscle? I've seen the majority of super Fat guys who think they are strong and muscle.

I'm talking the NFL type like Terrel Owens or others that can actually run and have strength and mobility. Muscle is more dense than fat and weighs more. Go to a BMI calculator, if anybody has a high amount of muscle mass on their body and/or they are short in stature, it can skew the BMI number above what is considered "healthy".

The JCAB base their numbers on a typical person from Japan and use that as the standard. That's fine if you are Japanese since they are all mostly healthy. It doesn't quite work for westerners as our is different.
