Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure that uses an individual's weight and height to gauge whether their weight is healthy. It is not solely based on height (A is incorrect), and a BMI of over 25 indicates overweight, not underweight (C is incorrect). The healthy range is indeed 18.5 to 25 (B is correct). A BMI of 30 to 35 actually indicates obesity, not merely overweight (D is incorrect), and obesity is generally considered at a BMI of over 30, not less than 28.5 (E is incorrect).
