Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. While not perfect, it's a useful screening tool to identify potential weight problems.

BMI Categories

  • Underweight - BMI less than 18.5
  • Normal weight - BMI 18.5 to 24.9
  • Overweight - BMI 25 to 29.9
  • Obese - BMI 30 or greater

BMI Formula

BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)² or BMI = weight (lbs) × 703 / height (in)²

Note: BMI is a screening tool and doesn't diagnose health. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a healthy BMI?

A healthy BMI is generally considered to be between 18.5 and 24.9. However, this may vary based on age, muscle mass, and other factors.

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

BMI may not be accurate for athletes (muscle weighs more), elderly, or pregnant women. It's a screening tool, not a diagnostic tool.

How often should I check my BMI?

Checking your BMI monthly or when you notice significant weight changes is reasonable. Focus on overall health, not just the number.
