BMI is a very basic measurement. While it takes height and weight into consideration, it does not account for factors body such as:

• waist or hip measurements
• the proportion or distribution of fat
• the proportion of muscle mass

These factors can affect health. For example, high performance athletes tend have a lot of muscle and little body fat. They can have a high BMI because they have more muscle mass. But this does not mean they weigh too much for their height UFABET 

Another limitation of BMI is that it does not distinguish between people of different racial or ethnic groups. Studies have shown that non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic Black, and Mexican Americans may have significantly different levels of body fat. But the same BMI as people from other groups.

This inaccuracy may lead to a misdiagnosis or an incorrect assessment of risk factors between individuals.

BMI can offer a rough idea of whether or not a person is at a moderate weight. And it is useful for measuring trends in population studies.

However, it should not be the only measure an individual uses to assess whether their weight is ideal.

Body fat percentage.

Body fat percentage is the weight of a person’s fat divided by their total weight. This includes fat found in many different parts of the body.

Body fat is necessary for the human body to function. An individual needs a type called essential fat to survive. It is critical for the development of the brain, bone marrow, nerves, and membranes.

Other types of fat protect the internal organs in the chest and abdomen, and the body can use it if necessary for energy.
