What is BMI?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement that uses your height and weight to estimate whether you are underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.

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 30 or greater

While BMI is a useful tool, it does not measure body fat directly and may not be accurate for everyone, especially athletes or older adults.
