About BMI Chart Categories:
Body mass index (BMI) is a statistical (mathematical) measure of the weight of a person
scaled according to height. It was invented between 1830 and 1850 by Belgian Adolphe Quetelet
during the course of developing "social physics".
Body mass index is defined as an individual's body weight divided by the square of their height. The formula is
universally used but alone, it is not an accurate measure of health.
Common Myth #1: BMI is a diagnostic tool
BMI on its own is not diagnostic in any way. It is just one of many risk factors for disease and
death. Research clearly show that there is strong evidence that as a person's BMI increases, the risk for many diseases increase as
well.
Common Myth: BMI Measures Body Fat
Two people can have the same BMI, but a different
percent body fat. Someone who has a frequent physical exercise program and has developed a large muscle mass and a low percent
body fat can have the same BMI as a person who never exercises and has more body fat because BMI
is calculated using a ration of weight and height only.
The Bottom Line On BMI
Do not take the BMI results literally. BMI results are influenced by an individuals state of health.
In cases where an individual has no regular exercise program, BMI can be an indicator of risk.
