Consult your physician before you
begin a new diet or exercise program.
BMI should not be used as a health risk
indicator for the following groups:
•
Children and teenagers - BMI ranges
are based on adult heights.
•
Athletes and body builders - BMI
does not differentiate between fat
and muscle and can therefore be
inaccurate for people with high
muscle density.
•
Pregnant or nursing women - this
group may experience elevated fat
levels as part of the pregnancy.
•
People over age 65 - this group may
experience elevated fat levels as part
of the aging process.
