What BMI range is considered normal?

What BMI range is considered normal?

• A. 18.5-24.9
• B. 25-29.9
• C. 30 and over
• D. 15-19

Answer: (A)

The main idea is knowing the BMI range that is considered normal. The normal range is 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m^2, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. This span is associated with the lowest risk of weight-related health problems for most adults. Values below 18.5 indicate underweight, while values 25 and above indicate overweight or obesity, with 25-29.9 and 30+ representing overweight and obesity, respectively. A range like 15-19 includes underweight values and does not reflect the standard normal interval, so the best choice is 18.5-24.9.
