Understanding BMI

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. It's a useful screening tool to identify weight categories that may lead to health problems.

BMI Categories:

Underweight

BMI less than 18.5

Normal weight

BMI 18.5 - 24.9

Overweight

BMI 25 - 29.9

Obese

BMI 30 or greater

Limitations of BMI:

  • Does not directly measure body fat
  • May overestimate body fat in athletes and those with muscular build
  • May underestimate body fat in older persons and those who have lost muscle
  • Does not account for distribution of fat (which affects health risks)

Note: BMI is a screening tool and does not diagnose body fatness or health. Consult with healthcare professionals at Angel Polyclinic for a comprehensive health assessment.
