Yes, and it does show the expected U-shaped curve.
BMI is pretty useless as an individual metric, though.
That was the point. (I also incorrectly remembered that the minimum was shifted a bit to the right of what's usually called “normal weight”, i.e. 18.5 to 25, but in the case of healthy people who've never smoked it looks like that range is about right.)
