Medical Slimming- Body Mass Index

BMI (Body Mass Index)

Body Mass Index (BMI) is the measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women.
Calculate your BMI.

BMI	Weight Status
Below 18.5	Underweight
18.5 - 24.9	Normal
25.0 - 29.9	Overweight
30.0 and Above	Obese

BMI does not necessarily measure body fat.

Two people can have the same BMI, but a different percentage of body fat. A bodybuilder with a large muscle mass and a low percent body fat may have the same BMI as a person who has more body fat because BMI is calculated using weight and height only.
