No kidding. I can definitely see how a BMI of 35 should be a red flag. I ran my numbers through. I'm the fatest I've ever been, and I still would need to be 50 lbs higher to reach 35.
Some of the other factors feel a bit like a witch-hunt. I'm surprised that frequently having to sit, and resorting to rollaboards to carry a load, are not listed as risk factors.
