What is BMI (Body Mass Index)?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a widely used health indicator that helps estimate whether a person’s body weight is appropriate for their height. It is commonly used by doctors, fitness experts, and public health organizations to classify weight status in adults.
BMI Formula:
BMI = Weight (kg) ÷ Height² (m²)
BMI Categories (WHO Standard)
- Underweight: BMI below 18.5 — may indicate nutritional deficiency
- Normal: BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 — generally considered healthy
- Overweight: BMI between 25 and 29.9 — may increase health risks
- Obese: BMI 30 or above — associated with higher risk of chronic conditions
How to Interpret Your BMI
- BMI is best suited for adults aged 18 years and above
- A normal BMI usually indicates lower risk of heart disease and diabetes
- Higher BMI values may increase the risk of hypertension and joint problems
- Lower BMI values may suggest undernutrition or muscle loss
Limitations of BMI
- BMI does not differentiate between fat and muscle mass
- Athletes may have high BMI due to increased muscle mass
- Older adults may have normal BMI but higher body fat percentage
- BMI does not account for gender, age, or body composition
BMI should be used as a general screening tool rather than a diagnostic measure. For a personalized health assessment, consult a qualified healthcare professional.
