BMI is a useful screening tool but does not measure body fat directly. Athletes may have high BMI due to muscle mass. Always consult a healthcare provider for a full health assessment.

What is a healthy BMI range?

A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered normal weight. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25-29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is obese according to WHO guidelines.
