What is BMI and Why Does It Matter?
BMI, or Body Mass Index, is a numerical value derived from your height and weight. It's used globally by doctors, health professionals, and fitness coaches to assess whether an individual has a healthy body weight relative to their height.
π The BMI Formula
BMI = weight (kg) / heightΒ² (mΒ²)
For example:
- If you weigh 70kg and are 1.75m tall:
- BMI = 70 / (1.75 Γ 1.75) = 22.86
This falls within the healthy range.
BMI Categories Explained
BMI Range | Category |
---|---|
Below 18.5 | Underweight |
18.5 β 24.9 | Healthy Weight |
25.0 β 29.9 | Overweight |
30.0 and above | Obese |
These ranges are based on World Health Organization (WHO) standards.

Limitations of BMI β What It Doesnβt Tell You
BMI is a helpful tool, but it's not flawless. Hereβs why:
- β Does not differentiate fat from muscle β Athletes may appear overweight by BMI
- β οΈ Doesnβt account for gender or age β Different health ranges may apply
- 𧬠Doesnβt consider fat distribution β Abdominal vs thigh fat matters too
π§ Pro Tip
Complement BMI with tools like waist-to-hip ratio or body fat percentage for a full picture. You can track those using external tools like:
