Understanding Your BMI
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation using a person's height and weight. It is widely used as an indicator of healthy body weight.
- Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
- Healthy weight: BMI 18.5 to 24.9
- Overweight: BMI 25 to 29.9
- Obesity: BMI 30 or higher
Limitations of BMI
While useful for general population health, BMI does not distinguish between fat and muscle. Athletes, for instance, may have a high BMI due to muscle mass rather than body fat.
