Does BMI Affect Life Insurance? 
Although Body Mass Index -LRB- BMI -RRB- is not one of the primary underwriting factors , it is directly connected to the Height and Weight parameters which are always primary items that are asked on an application for health insurance . An applicant that has a higher than normal BMI would be assumed to be overweight ; whereas an applicant with a lower than normal BMI would be assumed to be under nourished . Both of these situations would be deemed as a greater than normal risk to carrier ; should this condition exist , the applicant may be better off with an non-underwritten -LRB- guaranteed issue -RRB- life insurance policy .
