Recommended Healthy Weight Ranges
Body Mass Index (BMI) is an assessment
generally used by physicians and health experts to determine if a person is
underweight, overweight or within a healthy weight range.
Experts generally consider a BMI below 20 to be
underweight and a BMI of 20-25 to be healthy. BMIs of 25-30 are generally
considered overweight while a BMI over 30 is generally considered very
overweight (obese).
