Message definition (Body mass index)
The BMI is a convenient [[rule of thumb]] used to broadly categorize a person as based on tissue mass ([[muscle]], [[fat]], and [[bone]]) and height. Major adult BMI classifications are ''[[underweight]]'' (under 18.5 kg/m<sup>2</sup>), ''[[normal weight]]'' (18.5 to 24.9), ''[[overweight]]'' (25 to 29.9), and ''[[obese]]'' (30 or more).  When used to predict an individual's health, rather than as a statistical measurement for groups, the BMI has [[#Limitations|limitations]] that can make it less useful than some of the [[#Alternatives|alternatives]], especially when applied to individuals with [[abdominal obesity]], [[short stature]], or [[Bodybuilding|high muscle mass]].

The BMI is a convenient rule of thumb used to broadly categorize a person as based on tissue mass (muscle, fat, and bone) and height. Major adult BMI classifications are underweight (under 18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (18.5 to 24.9), overweight (25 to 29.9), and obese (30 or more). When used to predict an individual's health, rather than as a statistical measurement for groups, the BMI has limitations that can make it less useful than some of the alternatives, especially when applied to individuals with abdominal obesity, short stature, or high muscle mass.
