About BMI

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. It can help indicate if you're at a healthy weight.

BMI Categories:

  • Underweight: Below 18.5
  • Healthy Weight: 18.5 - 24.9
  • Overweight: 25.0 - 29.9
  • Obesity (Class I): 30.0 - 34.9
  • Obesity (Class II): 35.0 - 39.9
  • Obesity (Class III): 40.0 and above

Special Considerations:

  • BMI may overestimate body fat in athletes and those with muscular builds
  • BMI may underestimate body fat in older persons or those who have lost muscle mass
  • Different ethnic groups may have different BMI thresholds for health risks
