BMI stands for Body Mass Index. This is a numerical value of your weight in relation to your height. A BMI between 18.5 and 25 kg/mÂ² indicates a normal weight. A BMI of less than 18.5 kg/mÂ² is considered underweight. A BMI between 25 kg/mÂ² and 29.9 kg/mÂ² is considered overweight. A BMI of 30 kg/mÂ² or higher is considered obese. Excess weight increases the heart's work. It also raises blood pressure and blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels and lowers HDL (good) cholesterol levels.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is an established measure utilized by physicians and health experts to determine weight status (i.e. underweight, overweight or within a healthy weight range).

Experts generally consider a BMI below 20 to be underweight and a BMI of 20 to 25 to be healthy.
