Understanding Your BMI
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation using a person’s height and weight. The formula is BMI = kg/m2. It is frequently used in clinical settings at Multan Lab and globally as a screening tool to identify possible weight problems for adults.
BMI Categories
- Underweight Below 18.5
- Normal 18.5 – 24.9
- Overweight 25.0 – 29.9
- Obese 30.0+
Limitations of BMI
BMI does not directly measure body fat. It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build. It may underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have lost muscle.
