Understanding BMI
What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on your weight in relation to your height. It provides a general indicator of whether a person has a healthy body weight.
Limitations
BMI doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, overall body composition, and racial/sex differences. Athletes with high muscle mass may have a high BMI but not be overweight.
Health Implications
Maintaining a healthy BMI can help reduce the risk of weight-related diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
Next Steps
If your BMI is outside the normal range, consult with a healthcare provider for a comprehensive health assessment and personalized advice.
