Determine your BMI as a female. Women naturally carry different body fat distributions, but the basic WHO weight categorizations remain a standard reference.
If a person weighs 70 kg and is 175 cm tall (1.75m), their BMI is computed as 70 / (1.75 * 1.75) = 22.86 kg/m². This falls in the 'Normal Weight' range.
According to WHO: Underweight is below 18.5, Normal weight is 18.5 to 24.9, Overweight is 25 to 29.9, and Obese is 30 or higher.
Not always. BMI does not distinguish between muscle mass and fat. Highly muscular athletes may have a high BMI value classified as overweight, despite having low body fat levels.
