How much does BMI matter?

My BMI says I’m obese, but I don’t look it. Does this matter?

It depends ...

You can be very healthy and have a BMI which says you are overweight. Part of the issue is that muscle weighs more than fat ... muscular people can have a high BMI.

If it's due to fat, then, it does matter !!!
