Maintaining a healthy weight is important for your heart health. Regular exercise and a balanced diet can help you maintain this range.
What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation using a person's height and weight. The formula is BMI = kg/m² where kg is a person's weight in kilograms and m² is their height in meters squared.
Limitations of BMI
BMI is a useful screening tool, but it does not diagnose the body fatness or health of an individual. It doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, overall body composition, and racial and sex differences.
Next Steps
If your BMI is outside the normal range, a healthcare provider might perform further assessments such as skinfold thickness measurements, evaluations of diet, physical activity, and family history.
