What is BMI?

BMI Categories
| BMI Range | Category |
|---|---|
| Less than 18.5 | Underweight |
| 18.5 to 24.9 | Normal weight |
| 25 to 29.9 | Overweight |
| 30 or greater | Obese |
While BMI is a useful screening tool, it does not directly measure body fat and does not account for muscle mass, bone density, overall body composition, and distribution of fat.
Therefore, it may not provide a complete picture of an individual's health. Other factors such as waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, and overall lifestyle should also be considered when assessing health and fitness.
If you have questions about your health, it is recommended to ask a healthcare professional.
