What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value derived from a person’s weight and height. It provides a general indication of whether an individual has a healthy body weight for their height. BMI is widely used as a screening tool to categorize weight status—such as underweight, normal, overweight, or obese—which can relate to potential health risks.
What does it assess?
BMI helps assess overall body composition trends and potential risk for health conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. While it doesn’t measure body fat directly, it's a quick reference used by healthcare professionals to identify individuals at risk.
How do I optimize my BMI?
Healthy lifestyle habits—such as regular physical activity, a balanced diet rich in whole foods, portion control, and adequate sleep—can help maintain a BMI within the recommended range. For some, professional guidance may be necessary to manage weight healthily and sustainably.
What do high and low BMI levels mean?
High BMI may indicate overweight or obesity, which increases the risk of heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes. Low BMI could suggest undernutrition or underlying medical conditions. BMI should be interpreted in context with other health indicators such as waist circumference or body composition measurements.
