What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a widely used screening tool that estimates your body fat based on your height and weight. It provides a simple numeric measure of your weight in relation to your height, helping to categorize you as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.
Limitations of BMI
While BMI is a useful indicator for the general population, it's important to remember that it is not a diagnostic tool. It does not distinguish between fat and muscle mass. Therefore, very muscular individuals, like athletes, may have a high BMI but low body fat. Always consult with a healthcare professional for a comprehensive health assessment.
