BMI is a simple measurement that uses your height and weight to work out if your weight is healthy.
The standard BMI categories are standardized globally to provide a quick assessment of weight-to-height ratios.
If your BMI indicates you are in the overweight or obese category, you may want to explore our Weight Loss Diet Guide or start a HIIT Program.
While BMI is a widely used screening tool, it's important to understand its constraints. BMI does not distinguish between muscle mass and body fat. Athletes with high muscle mass may be categorized as "overweight" despite having very low body fat percentages.
Maintaining a BMI within the "Normal" range is associated with lower risks of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. However, health is multi-factorial, and BMI should be viewed alongside other metrics like body fat percentage and waist circumference.
