Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation used to assess whether a person has a healthy body weight for their height. It’s calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. BMI is categorized into the following ranges:
- Underweight: BMI less than 18.5 (highlighted in orange)
- Normal weight: BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 (highlighted in green)
- Overweight: BMI between 25 and 29.9 (highlighted in orange)
- Obese: BMI 30 or above (highlighted in red)
These categories help to identify potential health risks related to body weight, though it’s important to note that BMI does not consider factors like muscle mass or distribution of fat.
