Your BMI
Understanding BMI
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple ratio of weight to height. While it is not a perfect measure of health—as it does not distinguish between muscle mass and fat mass—it remains a standard clinical screening tool used by the CDC and WHO.
| BMI Range | Category | Clinical Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Below 18.5 | Underweight | Potential nutritional deficiency or underlying condition. |
| 18.5 – 24.9 | Normal Weight | Lowest statistical risk for cardiovascular disease. |
| 25.0 – 29.9 | Overweight | Elevated risk of hypertension and type 2 diabetes. |
| 30.0 and above | Obese | Significantly higher risk of metabolic syndrome. |
