Understanding BMI
What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) = weight(kg) / height(m)^2. It is a screening tool, not a diagnostic measure.
Limitations
BMI does not account for muscle mass, bone density, age, or body composition. Athletes may have high BMI but low body fat.
BMI for Children
Children's BMI is age and sex-specific. Use CDC growth charts for pediatric BMI percentiles.
Waist Circumference
Combine BMI with waist measurement for better health risk assessment. Men > 40 inches, Women > 35 inches indicates higher risk.
