BMI is the best population wide measure you can get using things that are measurable in a typical home (e.g. height and weight).
It doesn't work for everyone, but then a population wide measure isn't supposed to.
BVI (Body Volume Index) is a far far better measure, but almost no-one has a simple and reliable way of measuring their body volume at home.
