Understanding Your BMI

Body Mass Index is a screening tool used to assess whether a person has a healthy body weight for their height. It is calculated by dividing a person's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters.

  • Below 18.5: Underweight
  • 18.5 – 24.9: Normal weight
  • 25.0 – 29.9: Overweight
  • 30.0 and above: Obese

Note: BMI does not measure body fat directly and may not be accurate for athletes, elderly people, pregnant women, or children. Always consult a healthcare provider for a comprehensive health assessment.
