Rating scales such as the body mass index, do not take the size of your frame into account, which means that is lacks accuracy in determining whether or not you fall within a healthy weight range. For example, a mesomorph tends to be medium or large framed and also carries a good amount of muscle mass. You can't compare this persons weight when in shape with an out-of-shape ectomorph whose skeleton is slight and at the best of times carries little muscle mass.
