Yes, one of BMI's problems is that at the extreme ends of the scale, it is less accurate. Like I said in the post to which this was a reply. Like most more or less linear formulas, it underestimates correct weight for tall people, and overestimates on the short end.
On the other hand, I have been 6'4" and 152 pounds. I was surprisingly vital.
