What is BMI
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple numerical measure used to assess an individual's body weight in relation to their height. BMI helps categorize individuals into weight ranges such as underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity. While BMI provides a general indication of body weight status, it does not directly measure body fat or account for muscle mass, so additional assessments may be needed for a more detailed health evaluation.
BMI | Weight Status |
---|---|
Below 18.5 | Underweight |
18.5 - 24.9 | Healthy |
25.0 - 29.9 | Overweight |
30.0 - and Above | Obese |
