Check your Body fat
Body Mass Index
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women.
Limitations of the BMI
Body Mass Index is typically a good indicator of total body fat, which is related to the risk of disease and death. However, in some cases the score is not as reliable.
- It may overestimate body fat in athletes and individuals with a muscular build.
- It may underestimate body fat in elderly people and other individuals who have lost muscle mass.
- It is only valid for adults.
