Understanding Your BMI Result

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a widely used indicator to estimate a healthy body weight based on your height. It provides a simple numeric measure that helps categorize individuals into different weight groups.

While BMI doesn't measure body fat directly, it serves as a useful starting point for identifying potential weight-related health risks. Use the chart below to interpret your result:

BMI Range Category What It Means
Less than 18.5 Underweight You may be below the recommended weight for your height. Consider consulting a healthcare provider for advice.
18.5 – 24.9 Normal weight You are within the healthy weight range. Maintain your current lifestyle to support long-term wellness.
25 – 29.9 Overweight Your weight is above the recommended range. A balanced diet and regular activity can help you return to a healthier range.
30 and above Obese This category may be associated with increased health risks. Consider seeking guidance to develop a personalized plan.

Note: BMI is a general guideline and may not apply equally to all individuals, especially athletes, children, elderly individuals, or those with high muscle mass. For a more complete health assessment, speak with a professional.
