What is my BMI and shold I trust it?

With any piece of information (like your BMI) handed to you, you must measure it with a level of context and expert opinion. This allows you to gather a rounded approach rather than make any drastic knee-jerk reactions.

A BMI reading is an important piece of information but it is by no means the only piece.

Your Body Mass Index will give you an indication as to whether you are in a healthy weight range relative to your height.

Due to being referred to globally by health professionals, your BMI will be used within the decision-making process for a range of procedures.
