Blood pressure is useful, but I strongly dislike BMI. My weight hasn't fluctuated by more than 2kg in 10 years.
10 years ago I was playing competitive rugby, basketball and training for the former 3 times a week and was genuinely very fit. Now, I've got a decent amount of fat on me and am no-where near as healthy as I ought to be. Yet my weight and height haven't changed, so neither has my BMI. Nonetheless, I've lost a reasonable amount of muscle and instead put on a lot of fat.
On the other hand, my blood pressure definitely has got worse.
