A BMI of 24.3 kg per square meter may also be normal, which is related to age and physical condition.
BMI is the body mass index, which is used to determine the percentage of fat in the body, and the nationally defined normal BMI for adults is 18.5 to 23.9 kg per square meter. For normal people, a BMI value of 24.3 is considered overweight.
BMI generally indicates the ratio of human body weight (kg) to the square value of height (meters). For example, if a person’s height is 1.75 meters and his weight is 68 kg, his BMI = 68/(1.75*1.75)=22.2.
The normal BMI of Chinese adults should be between 18.5-23.9, if less than 18.5 for underweight, if greater than or equal to 24 for overweight, greater than or equal to 28 for obese.
However, if the person being measured is younger than 18 years old, in pregnancy, or an athlete or an elderly person, the BMI value is not enough to indicate whether their weight is normal or not. Therefore, for these people, a BMI value of 24.3 may be normal, and they should go to the hospital in time to consult a doctor, and also have a body fat test.
BMI is subject to error and is only a standard to assess whether the body is healthy or not, and has some reference value. It can also be combined with the abdominal circumference, body fat percentage, etc. to determine whether the body weight is normal.
