The normal range of BMI for men is 18.5-24.9Kg/m². BMI, also known as body mass index, is calculated as BMI = weight (Kg)/height squared (m²), according to the data standards stipulated by our country, the indexes for men and women are the same, the normal range is 18.5-24.9Kg/m², overweight is BMI more than 25kg/m2, and more than 30kg/m2 is regarded as obesity, and <18.5Kg/m² is emaciation. Both thinness and obesity should be highly valued. Obesity is associated with many diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, fatty liver, coronary heart disease, sleep apnea syndrome, etc. Being too thin may be a result of malnutrition and chronic wasting disease. If the BMI is overweight or obese, it is recommended to actively reduce weight, through scientific diet, reasonable exercise to improve body weight, and avoid high-sugar and high-fat food; if the weight is thin, it is recommended to appropriately increase the amount of food, and if necessary, consult a doctor to clarify the cause.
