What BMI range is classified as normal weight?

BMI of 18.5-24.9
BMI of 25.0-29.9
BMI of 30.0-34.9
BMI of 35.0-39.9

The correct answer is: BMI of 18.5-24.9

The classification of body mass index (BMI) providing a normal weight range is indeed between 18.5 and 24.9. This range is established by health organizations to indicate a healthy weight for individuals, which is associated with a lower risk of developing various health conditions compared to extremes of underweight and overweight. Individuals within this BMI range are considered to have an adequate amount of body fat which is indicative of good health, without the increased health risks associated with being underweight or overweight. For instance, being underweight (BMI below 18.5) can lead to issues such as nutrient deficiencies and weakened immune function, while being overweight or obese (BMI of 25 or higher) is associated with a higher risk for conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Understanding these classifications helps personal trainers and health professionals in assessing clients' health and making recommendations to achieve or maintain a healthy weight.
