What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is an international formula used to determine if a person is at a healthy weight range relative to their height. The BMI formula is calculated by dividing body weight (kg) by the square of height (in meters).
For example, for a person weighing 70 kg and 1.70 meters tall, the BMI calculation is: 70 / (1.70 * 1.70) = 24.2. This value is within normal limits.
Classification of Body Mass Index Values
According to World Health Organization (WHO) standards, BMI values are divided into the following categories:
- Under 18.5: Underweight. Indicates your weight is low for your height. Reaching your ideal weight with balanced nutrition programs is recommended.
- 18.5 - 24.9: Normal (Healthy). Indicates your weight is highly balanced and healthy for your height.
- 25.0 - 29.9: Overweight. Indicates your weight is slightly high for your height. Increasing physical activity and organizing your diet will be beneficial.
- 30.0 and above: Obesity. This is the range where the risk of health problems increases. Professional support and calorie tracking are recommended.
