About The BMI Body Mass Index

BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It’s a health screening tool used to estimate if an adult’s (18-65 years) weight is healthy for their height. It’s a good general health indictor for most people. A BMI higher or lower than the normal weight range is associated with a higher risk of developing chronic conditions: cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and more. A higher BMI, due to a higher body fat can also contribute to joint pain in the back (especially low back), knees, hips, and ankles. Extra weight puts extra pressure on these joints. BMI is calculated using a person’s height and weight.

BMI has limitations. It doesn’t measure body composition (body fat percentage and muscle mass). It may not be as accurate for certain groups:

Athletes
Body builders (people with high muscle mass and low body fat)
Pregnant individuals
Elderly populations
Children
