About Body Mass Index (BMI)

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a value derived from a person's weight and height. It provides a simple numeric measure of a person's thickness or thinness, allowing health professionals to discuss weight problems more objectively with patients.

BMI Categories:

Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
Normal weight: BMI between 18.5 and 24.9
Overweight: BMI between 25 and 29.9
Obesity: BMI of 30 or greater

While BMI is a useful screening tool, it does have limitations. It doesn't account for differences in body composition, such as muscle mass versus fat mass. Athletes with high muscle mass may have a high BMI without excess fat, while elderly people with low muscle mass may have a normal BMI despite carrying too much fat.

Always consult with healthcare professionals for a comprehensive health assessment.
