Body mass index (BMI) is a tool that healthcare providers use to estimate the amount of body fat by using your height and weight measurements. It can help assess risk factors for certain health conditions. The BMI isn’t always an accurate representation of body fatness.
Healthcare providers use BMI to help diagnose weight types and as a screening tool for certain health conditions. The optimum range for a healthy BMI is considered to be 18.5 to 24.9. For women and men, the following BMI ranges indicate your weight status: 18 or lower: underweight 18.5 to 24.9: normal, healthy weight 25 to 29.9: overweight 30 or higher: obese It’s important to remember that body fatness isn’t the only determiner of overall health. Several other factors, such as genetics, activity level, smoking cigarettes or using tobacco, drinking alcohol and mental health conditions all affect your overall health and your likelihood of developing certain medical conditions. BMI doesn’t differentiate between lean body mass (the weight of everything in your body except fat) and fat mass. Because of this, a person can have a high BMI (by being muscular) but still have a very low-fat mass and vice versa. Would you like to calculate your BMI?
