What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation using a person's height and weight. The formula is BMI = kg/m² where kg is weight in kilograms and m² is height in meters squared.
BMI Categories
| BMI Range | Category | Health Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Below 18.5 | Underweight | Increased risk |
| 18.5 - 24.9 | Normal Weight | Lowest risk |
| 25.0 - 29.9 | Overweight | Increased risk |
| 30.0 - 34.9 | Obese (Class I) | High risk |
| 35.0 - 39.9 | Obese (Class II) | Very high risk |
| 40.0 and above | Extreme Obesity | Extremely high risk |
BMI Limitations
While BMI is a useful screening tool, it has important limitations to consider:
- Muscle Mass: May overestimate body fat in athletes and individuals with high muscle mass
- Age: May underestimate body fat in older persons who have lost muscle mass
- Body Composition: Doesn't distinguish between fat and muscle mass
- Ethnicity: Different ethnic groups may have different risk associations with BMI
- Pregnancy: Not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women
Using BMI Effectively
For most accurate health assessment, use BMI alongside other measurements:
📏 Waist Circumference
Measures abdominal fat distribution
💪 Body Fat Percentage
