About BMI
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value calculated from your weight and height. It provides a simple way to categorize weight status that may indicate health risks.
While BMI is a useful screening tool, it has limitations:
- Doesn't directly measure body fat
- Doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition
- May not be accurate for athletes, pregnant women, or the elderly
BMI Categories:
| BMI | Category | Health Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Below 18.5 | Underweight | Possible nutritional deficiency and osteoporosis |
| 18.5 - 24.9 | Normal weight | Low risk (healthy range) |
| 25.0 - 29.9 | Overweight | Moderate risk of developing heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes |
| 30.0 and Above | Obese | High risk of developing heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes |
For a more comprehensive health assessment, consult with a healthcare professional who can evaluate additional factors like waist circumference, diet, physical activity, and family history.
