Check your Body Mass Index and understand what it means for you
BMI is a useful screening tool for populations, but it doesn't measure body fat directly. It can be misleading for two specific groups:
| Group | BMI Issue | Better Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Athletes | May classify as "Overweight" due to high muscle mass. | Body Fat % or Waist-to-Hip Ratio |
| Seniors | May classify as "Normal" despite low muscle mass (Sarcopenia). | Functional strength testing |
