Classification of body mass index

Classification of body mass index
Underweight – BMI <18.5 kg/m2
Normal weight – BMI ≥18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2
Overweight – BMI ≥25 to 29.9 kg/m2
Obesity – BMI ≥30 kg/m2
  • Obesity class 1 – BMI 30 to 34.9 kg/m2
  • Obesity class 2 – BMI 35 to 39.9 kg/m2
  • Obesity class 3 – BMI ≥40 kg/m2
BMI classifications are based upon risk of cardiovascular disease. These classifications for BMI have been adopted by the NIH and WHO for White, Hispanic, and Black individuals. Because these cutoffs underestimate risk in the Asian population, the WHO and NIH guidelines for Asian individuals define overweight as a BMI between 23 and 24.9 kg/m2 and obesity as a BMI >25 kg/m2. Some investigators employ four classes of obesity such that class 3 is defined as BMI 40 to 49.9 kg/m2 and super obesity is defined as BMI ≥50 kg/m2.
