Understanding BMI categories and what they mean for your health.
Being underweight may indicate malnutrition, eating disorders, or other health conditions. Consult with a healthcare provider to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
This is considered a healthy weight range for most adults. It's associated with the lowest risk of weight-related health problems.
Being overweight increases the risk of developing health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
Obesity significantly increases the risk of serious health conditions including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.
BMI doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or fat distribution. Athletes with high muscle mass may have a high BMI but low body fat. Always consult with healthcare professionals for personalized health advice.
