Understanding Your BMI Result

The BMI value is used to categorize weight status. Here are the standard classifications for adults:

BMI Weight Status
Below 18.5 Underweight
18.5 – 24.9 Normal or Healthy Weight
25.0 – 29.9 Overweight
30.0 and Above Obesity

Limitations of BMI

While BMI is a useful indicator, it has limitations. It does not distinguish between fat and muscle mass. Therefore, very muscular individuals, like athletes, may have a high BMI but not have excess body fat. It's always best to use BMI as a screening tool in conjunction with other health metrics.
