Might propose a change? Instead of underweight, overweight, obsese, etc, how about we replace the return values with "no idea, consult a health professional and have your body composition correctly measured"? It will be significantly more accurate! :D

Something like:

(w, h) => `A BMI of ${w/h**2}, means nothing. For an accurate representation of body mass measure water displacement in a big bath tub! To determine how healthy you are, consult a healthcare professional, do see how trip you are have your body composition measured, and to see how fit you are visit any good gym and undertake a fitness test in the area you wish to evaluate.`
