See a doctor: It's more likely that you've have a lingering upper respiratory infection than 4 separate colds. Also, I believe you are calculating your BMI incorrectly. Nevertheless, if you are very under weight or anorexic, malnutrition can certainly contribute to a weakened immune system. If you are concerned about recurrent infections, you should get checked out by a medical provider.

Hi, I was wondering what your view on the BMI system is. Do you think it is effective? Do you prefer BMI or waist to height? (for a research project).
I want to know what is the difference between BMI (body mass index) and body fat percentage?
Could it happen that a BMI calculator tell the difference between muscle and fat?
