Understanding BMI

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple measurement based on a person's weight and height. It is commonly used as one way of screening for weight categories in adults.

BMI is only one measure of health. It does not directly measure body fat or account for factors such as muscle mass, age, sex, body composition, or where body fat is distributed.

Important Health Notice

BMI is a screening measurement, not a diagnosis. It may not accurately represent health status in people with high muscle mass, athletes, older adults, pregnant women, or certain other groups.
