Developed in the 19th century, BMI is a simple statistical measure that correlates with body fat for most of the population. While it has limitations (it doesn't account for muscle mass), it remains a useful and easy-to-calculate screening tool.
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
It's a good general indicator, but it can be misleading for very muscular individuals (like athletes) or for children and the elderly. It's best used as a screening tool, not a diagnostic one.
What is a healthy BMI?
A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is generally considered to be in the healthy weight range for most adults.
What are the alternatives to BMI?
More accurate methods for measuring body fat include skinfold thickness measurements, bioelectrical impedance, and waist-to-hip ratio, but these usually require special equipment or a professional.
