Understanding BMI
What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a value derived from the mass and height of a person. It's defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height, expressed in units of kg/m².
BMI Categories
BMI categories help classify weight status: Underweight (<18.5), Normal (18.5-24.9), Overweight (25-29.9), and Obese (≥30). These ranges are based on health risk associations.
Limitations of BMI
BMI doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat mass, doesn't account for body fat distribution, and may not be accurate for athletes, elderly, or certain ethnic groups. It's a screening tool, not a diagnostic measure.
