Did you know?

Maintaining a healthy weight is important for overall health. In addition to BMI, healthcare providers use other measurements and factors - such as skinfold thickness, waist circumference, and diet - to assess a person’s health status.

Professional Tips & Best Practices

Muscle weight: Muscle is denser than fat; a high BMI might coexist with low body fat percentages.

Alternative metrics: Couple BMI with waist circumference or body fat calipers for accurate assessments.

Fitness focus: Prioritize physical performance, recovery rates, and functional endurance.
