What Your BMI Result Means
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a screening tool used to categorize body weight based on height and weight. While it does not measure body fat directly, it provides a useful starting point for understanding overall weight status.
- Underweight (Below 18.5): May indicate insufficient body weight and possible nutritional deficiencies
- Normal Weight (18.5 – 24.9): Generally associated with a lower risk of weight-related health conditions
- Overweight (25 – 29.9): May increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other health concerns
- Obese (30 or higher): Associated with a higher risk of chronic health conditions and may require lifestyle changes
What to Do After Checking Your BMI
Your BMI result is only one part of the overall health picture. If your BMI falls outside the healthy range, small and consistent lifestyle changes can make a meaningful difference over time.
- Focus on balanced, nutrient-dense meals
- Increase daily physical activity such as walking or light exercise
- Manage stress and prioritize quality sleep
- Track your calorie and protein needs for better planning
Important Notes About BMI
BMI does not account for factors such as muscle mass, age, gender, or body fat distribution. Athletes or individuals with higher muscle mass may have a higher BMI without having excess body fat.
For a more complete health assessment, BMI should be considered alongside other measurements, lifestyle factors, and professional medical advice.
