Understanding BMI

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple measurement using your height and weight to work out if your weight is healthy. The BMI calculation divides an adult's weight in kilograms by their height in metres squared.

BMI Categories

  • Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
  • Normal Weight: BMI between 18.5 and 24.9
  • Overweight: BMI between 25 and 29.9
  • Obese: BMI of 30 or greater

Limitations of BMI

While BMI is a useful measurement for most people, it has some limitations:

  • It may overestimate body fat in athletes and muscular people
  • It may underestimate body fat in elderly persons and those who have lost muscle
  • It doesn't account for where fat is stored in the body
  • It may not be accurate for pregnant women
