Why is it good to know your BMI?
The BMI serves as a practical tool for most populations to detect malnutrition, healthy weight, overweight or obesity. This allows you to avoid possible health problems resulting from your weight. For standard BMI categories for adults, see the table below.
| below 18,5 | underweight | medium to high |
| 18,5 – 24,9 | healthy weight | low |
| 25,0 – 29,9 | overweight | secondary |
| 30,0 or more | obesity | high |
However, BMI results are not quite accurate because they are generally valid data of an average person. BMI can be distorted for children, young people under 18, pregnant women, active athletes and the elderly.
