What is a healthy BMI for my height?

A healthy BMI falls between 18.5 and 24.9 for most adults. For example, if you are 5'9" (175cm), a healthy weight range is roughly 125-169 lbs (57-77 kg). Below 18.5 is underweight, 25-29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is obese.

Is BMI reliable for athletes?

BMI overestimates body fat for athletes with high muscle mass. A 6'0", 220 lb bodybuilder scores 29.8 (overweight) despite having 10% body fat. For muscular individuals, body fat percentage or waist-to-hip ratio is more precise.

What BMI is considered obese?

A BMI of 30 or above is classified as obese. Class I obesity is 30-34.9, Class II is 35-39.9, and Class III (severe) is 40+. For Asian populations, the WHO recommends obesity thresholds at 27.5 due to higher metabolic risk at lower BMI.
