What is a healthy BMI?

A healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) for most adults is generally considered to be between 18.5 and 24.9. A BMI below 18.5 is considered underweight, 25 to 29.9 is overweight, and 30 or higher is considered obese.

How is BMI calculated?

BMI is calculated by dividing an adult's weight in kilograms by their height in meters squared. For imperial measurements, it is weight in pounds divided by height in inches squared, all multiplied by a conversion factor of 703.

What Does Your BMI Mean?

BMI is a screening tool used by doctors and health professionals worldwide. While it doesn't measure body fat directly, it strongly correlates with metabolic health risks. Here is the standard World Health Organization (WHO) BMI classification scale:

BMI Score	Weight Status Category
Below 18.5	Underweight
18.5 – 24.9	Healthy / Normal Weight
25.0 – 29.9	Overweight
30.0 and Above	Obese

Is BMI Always Accurate?

While BMI is an excellent baseline tool for the general population, it does have limitations. Because the formula only uses height and weight, it cannot distinguish between muscle mass and fat mass. Highly trained athletes, bodybuilders, and people with high muscle density may score in the "Overweight" or "Obese" categories despite having very low body fat percentages.
