Weight And Your Body

The appropriate weight for an individual depends on various factors, including height, age, gender, muscle mass, and overall health.

Determining if your body weight is in a healthy range involves T considering various factors, and one common method is to assess your Body Mass Index (BMI).

Calculate

Your BMI: T BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters.

The formula is BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m))^2.

Interpret BMI Categories:

Underweight: BMI less than 18.5 Normal weight: BMI 18.5 to 24.9 Overweight: BMI 25 to 29.9 Obesity: BMI 30 or greater

Keep in mind that while BMI is a widely used tool, it has limitations. It doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat, and individuals with high muscle mass may have a higher BMI without excess body fat. Additionally, BMI may not be suitable for certain populations, such as athletes with a significant muscle mass.
