I used that website

also the evidence you will obtain will be skewed because most people in the high and low end will prob not release their information

Yeah, as it seems most of us are posting pretty damn perfect BMI numbers.

^^I am well aware already took that into consideration
^I know this isnt only done by us too there are many factors to consider (types of games,dedication, field of work) the data is not only gathered from the internet and its not only us two. We hope to get around 5000 people for the data in order to have some actual evidence instead of the bullshit experiments done on cirka 75ppl

Well i lost like 5 kg in one month but i was a bit more fat

I thought all Spanish ppl were slender due to having Sauna 24/7

If you take a statistics course, you'll learn that these volunteered & unreliable info is completely useless. Moreover, you'll need a very large sample size.

The most accurate data is collected through true randomization.
You will have better luck searching with google scholar. Peer reviewed papers are generally more trust worthy.

^that, do u think anyone is going to post that they are morbidly obese?

^still looking forward for somebody to say this:
A: 67
H: 22 hours
BMI: 31

^ Humans can't type after death, so don't expect it too much.

@Grim Statistics isnt really my area of expertise. But we have already reviewed a couple of papers each and the data/results we found were either insufficient/ too one dimentional/ untrustworthy. Honestly this is quite a large project that is quite wide spread (data collected from South Korea/EU/ NA in a non-online format).We are around 10 guys from diffrent unis trying to gather data. Obviously we will have to take a diffrent approach to the data found online in comparison to the one we harness ourselves. We might even deem it unusable but it would be plain stupid not to at least try gather data from forums since they are the place where you meet the most dedicated players.

Try an anonymous survey. If someone here has an unhealthy BMI, they might be reluctant to publish it.
Even though I wouldn't find it surprising if there were only a few unhealthy BMIs around here, having met tons of Dota players.
Healthy BMI doesn't mean fit anyways, since the weight can either be muscle or fat.

If it is for anything academic you will gain nothing from doing this. Your best bet is to collect the data anonymously because once you associate the results with a person the data becomes unreliable. Create a survey of some kind and post it here you will get much more accurate results if you choose to continue the path of collecting data here.

damn DeL too fast -_-

idk why someone wouldnt post their bmi, not like it means anything to the people of this forum. im underweight as hell and look at me not giving a shit about others' opinions

A - 22
H - 2-3
BMI - 19.5

@Wink

I would post the research that relates to your question but Lawlie would ban me for posting academic sources again

age - 22
hours - maybe 4 on average?
height - 178
weight - 68kg i think

^ your BMI is 21 noob

is that good

18 - 25 is considered healthy

But then again muscles give you weight as well so BMI is kinda unreliable
