Limitations of BMI
BMI is a useful screening tool but does not measure body fat directly. It does not account for muscle mass, bone density, age, or gender. Athletes may show high BMI due to muscle. Always consult a healthcare professional for medical advice.
Healthy BMI Range
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines a healthy BMI as 18.5 to 24.9 for adults. Maintaining a healthy BMI reduces risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions.
