A member asked:
Are the dimples behind my knees a sign that i may be overweight? im 5'3 and i weigh 145. hw

Bmi is 25.7: Your body mass index is 25.7 and normal is less than 25 so you are slighly overweight. My guess is that the dimples are just a genetic predisposition, you are certainly not obese.
