Not always, however, it is possible.
Explanation:
BMI is essentially an average of how much you weigh for you height. It isn't always accurate because there can be a really buff guy (where muscle weighs more than far), however, he is really short. This would mean his BMI would be very high. But even though his BMI is high, his cardiovascular health is probably still top notch. On the other hand, if someone has a high BMI because they just weigh alot and they have an average height (a likewise high BMI), they are probably going to have bad cardiovascular health.

Coming from someone who has experienced eating disorders…

-Avoid commenting on appearance or weight. People with eating disorders are already overly focused on their bodies. Even assurances that they’re not fat play into their preoccupation with being thin. Instead, steer the conversation to their feelings. Why are they afraid of being fat? What do they think they’ll achieve by being thin?
-Avoid giving simple solutions. For example, “All you have to do is accept yourself.” Eating disorders are complex problems. If it were that easy, your loved one wouldn’t be suffering.
