BMI Categories
BMI Range | Category | Health Risk |
---|---|---|
< 18.5 | Underweight | Individuals with a BMI below 18.5 may face increased risks of nutritional deficiencies, weakened immune system, hormonal imbalances, and reduced bone density. This can lead to complications such as anemia, fertility issues, and delayed wound healing. Regular monitoring and professional guidance are recommended. |
18.5 - 24.9 | Normal Weight | A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is associated with the lowest risk of weight-related health issues. This range typically indicates a good balance between height and weight, supporting optimal organ function and metabolic health. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle remains important. |
25.0 - 29.9 | Overweight | Having a BMI between 25.0 and 29.9 increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. This range may also be associated with sleep apnea, joint problems, and reduced mobility. Early intervention through lifestyle modifications can help prevent progression to obesity. |
30.0 - 34.9 | Obese | Obesity (BMI 30.0-34.9) significantly raises the risk of serious health conditions including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. It can also lead to respiratory problems, osteoarthritis, and psychological issues. Medical supervision and comprehensive lifestyle changes are strongly recommended. |
≥ 35.0 | Extremely Obese | Extreme obesity (BMI ≥35.0) poses severe risks to health, including life-threatening conditions such as severe cardiovascular disease, organ failure, and mobility issues. This level of obesity is associated with significantly reduced life expectancy and quality of life. Immediate medical intervention and possibly surgical options should be considered under professional guidance. |
BMI is just one of many indicators of health and should not be considered in isolation. Factors such as muscle mass, age, gender, ethnicity, and body composition also play important roles in determining overall health. Please consult healthcare professionals for personalized medical advice.
