Understanding Your BMI
What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure that uses your height and weight to work out if your weight is healthy. The BMI calculation divides an adult's weight in kilograms by their height in metres squared.
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
Why BMI Matters
BMI is a useful screening tool to identify potential weight problems. Maintaining a healthy BMI reduces your risk for serious health conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.
Limitations of BMI
While BMI is a useful indicator, it doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, overall body composition, or ethnic differences. Athletes with high muscle mass may have a high BMI but low body fat.
