What Is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple numerical measure of body fat based on height and weight. It is widely used as a screening tool to identify weight categories that may lead to health problems, though it has limitations as it does not directly measure body fat or account for muscle mass.
BMI Formula
- Metric: BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)²
- Imperial: BMI = 703 × weight (lbs) / height (in)²
BMI Categories (WHO)
| BMI Range | Category |
|---|---|
| Below 18.5 | Underweight |
| 18.5 – 24.9 | Normal weight |
| 25.0 – 29.9 | Overweight |
| 30.0 – 34.9 | Obese (Class I) |
| 35.0 – 39.9 | Obese (Class II) |
| 40.0 and above | Severely Obese (Class III) |
Limitations of BMI
- Does not distinguish muscle from fat — athletes may have a high BMI but low body fat.
- Does not account for age-related changes in body composition.
- May underestimate risk in people with low muscle mass (e.g., elderly).
- Different thresholds may apply for different ethnic groups.
Better Indicators Alongside BMI
For a fuller picture of health, consider also measuring waist circumference (healthy: under 94 cm for men, 80 cm for women), waist-to-hip ratio, and body fat percentage.
