ℹ️ BMI Interpretation (WHO)
BMI < 18.5: underweight | 18.5–24.9: normal | 25–29.9: overweight | 30+: obese. BMI is an indicator and does not account for muscle mass.
Understanding Your BMI Result
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a screening tool based on the ratio of weight to height squared (kg/m²). While not a direct measure of body fat, it correlates well with health risks in population studies. The WHO classification applies to adults aged 18–65; different thresholds apply to children and the elderly.
BMI Categories (WHO 2026)
- Below 18.5 — Underweight (increased risk of nutritional deficiency)
- 18.5 – 24.9 — Normal weight (healthy range)
- 25 – 29.9 — Overweight (moderate cardiovascular risk)
- 30 – 34.9 — Obese Class I · 35–39.9 — Class II · 40+ — Class III
BMI does not distinguish between muscle and fat. Athletes often show high BMI despite low body fat. Combine with waist circumference measurement for a more complete assessment.

📊 BMI classification (WHO)
| BMI | Category |
|---|---|
| Below 18.5 | Underweight |
| 18.5 — 24.9 | Normal weight |

💼 BMI scenarios
BMI = 80 ÷ 3.1684 = 25.2 → slightly overweight.
BMI = 60 ÷ 2.89 = 20.8 → normal weight.
💡 Practical tips
- BMI is a general indicator and does not distinguish muscle from fat.
- Athletes may have a high BMI despite being fit.
- Use it as a first signal, not a medical diagnosis.
⚠️ Limits and disclaimer
- It is not enough on its own to assess health; consult a doctor or dietitian.
- It does not apply the same way to children, pregnant women and the elderly.
