BMI Ranges

If your BMI is:

below 18.5 – you're in the underweight range
between 18.5 and 24.9 – you're in the healthy weight range
between 25 and 29.9 – you're in the overweight range
between 30 and 39.9 – you're in the obese range

What Is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation—your weight divided by the square of your height—that helps screen for obesity and related health risks. It’s closely linked to other measures like waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio.

Why a BMI of 20–25 Is Ideal
A BMI between 20 and 25 is considered healthy. Benefits include:

Longer life expectancy and lower cardiovascular risk
Easier weight management if you do gain pounds
Reduced chances of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and certain cancers

Health Risks of Obesity
Obesity greatly raises the risk of serious conditions, such as:

Type 2 diabetes and heart disease
Hypertension, high cholesterol and elevated blood sugar
Several types of cancer

With excess weight, physical activity becomes harder and losing pounds more challenging—a cycle that can worsen these health threats.
