What is BMI (Body Mass Index)?
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a widely used method to estimate a healthy body weight based on an individual's height. It applies to adult men and women and can give a general indication of whether a person is underweight, normal, overweight, or obese.
The formula for BMI is weight (kg) divided by height squared (m²). While BMI doesn't directly measure body fat, it is a useful screening tool for categorizing body weight relative to height.
BMI Categories:
- Underweight: BMI below 18.5
- Normal weight: BMI between 18.5 and 24.9
- Overweight: BMI between 25 and 29.9
- Obesity: BMI of 30 or more
It’s important to note that BMI may not accurately represent body composition for athletes, children, or elderly individuals. For a more precise assessment of body fat and health, consult a healthcare professional.
