Frequently Asked Questions
Can a BMI of 22.1 be healthy if I have belly fat?
While a BMI of 22.1 is within the normal range (18.5-24.9), waist circumference is an important complementary measure. The CDC recommends that women maintain a waist circumference below 35 inches to minimize health risks. Belly fat can increase cardiovascular risk even at a normal BMI.
Is BMI the best measure of health at 22.1?
A BMI of 22.1 is a good indicator of healthy weight, but body composition and muscle mass are also important factors. For a more comprehensive health assessment, consider measuring waist circumference and body fat percentage in addition to BMI.
How common is a BMI of 22.1 for a 4ft 7in female?
The CDC reports that normal weight individuals make up roughly one-third of the US adult population, a figure that has been declining over the past two decades. Your BMI of 22.1 places you in the Normal category.
If I lose 5 lbs, what will my new BMI be?
If you lose 5 lbs from your current weight of 95 lbs, your new BMI would be approximately 20.9 at the same height of 4ft 7in. This would represent a change of 1.2 BMI units.
