A relative measure of body height to body weight, the Body Mass Index (BMI) is used to help determine whether a person is at a healthy weight, overweight or obese.

 

Individuals in a normal weight range usually have a BMI landing somewhere between 19 and 25. People who are mildly to moderately overweight (up to 40% above normal weight) have BMIs between 25 and 30. Obese individuals (more than 40% above normal weight) have BMIs over 30.

 

Please Note: Since the BMI is only a relative measurement of body weight to body height, it does not discriminate between the more muscular body and the over-fat body types. The BMI, therefore, should be used together with other body measurement and composition assessments that determine the amount of body weight composed of fat compared to fat-free (lean body) mass to determine how fit an individual is.
