Body Mass Index

 The normal BMI (Body Mass Index) for a healthy person is typically in the range of:

  • 18.5 to 24.9

This range is considered healthy for most adults as per the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines.

BMI Categories:

  • Underweight: Less than 18.5
  • Normal weight: 18.5–24.9
  • Overweight: 25–29.9
  • Obese: 30 or higher
