BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)
Body mass index (BMI) is one way to tell whether you
are at a healthy weight. It measures your weight in
relation to your height, and is closely associated with
measures of body fat. The higher the BMI, the greater
the risk of developing health problems.
BMI is one of the tools that Healthcare providers use
to assess a person's risk of developing diabetes, heart
disease, or other health problems.
BMI for Adults
For adults over 20 years old, BMI falls into one of
the following:
(BMI ≥ 30.0)

Below 18.5

To determine the BMI that is appropriate for your body,
consult your physician.
What should I do if my BMI
measurement is too high?
If your BMI is between 25 and 30 and you are otherwise
healthy, try to avoid gaining more weight, and look
into healthy ways to lose weight and increase physical
activity. Talk to your health care provider about losing
weight if
(a) two or more of the health problems listed below or
(b) a family history of heart disease or diabetes

BMI Limitations
Because BMI does not show the difference between fat and muscle,
it is not the only predictor of a weight issue that could lead to health
BMI
problems. For example, someone with a lot of muscle (such as a
body builder) may have a BMI in the unhealthy range, but still be
healthy.
BMI also may not accurately reflect body fatness in people who are
under 5 feet (1.5m) or in older people, who tend to lose muscle
mass as they age. But for most people, BMI is a reliable way to tell
if your weight is putting your health at risk.
