    The document discusses BMI (Body Mass Index) classifications of underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity. It provides the standard formula to calculate BMI using weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. BMI categories are defined as underweight (<18.5), normal weight (18.5-24.99), overweight (≥25), and obese (≥30). Additional categories are discussed for Asian populations due to higher health risks at lower BMIs.

    BMI

    Kelebihan berat badan digolongkan menurut Body Mass Index


    (BMI) menjadi obesitas, overweight, normal dan underweight.
    Perhitungan BMI adalah perbandingan antara berat badan
    dengan tinggi badan melalui persamaan
    BMI = Berat Badan (kg) / Tinggi Badan kuadrat (meter)

    Setelah itu diklasifikasikan:


    Underweight = bila BMI < 18.5
    Normoweight = BMI 18.5 – 22.99
    Overweight = BMI 23.00 – 24.99
    Obese = BMI ≥ 25
    For many Asian populations, additional trigger points for
    public health action were identified as 23 kg/m2 or
    higher, representing increased risk, and 27·5 kg/m2 or
    higher as representing high risk. The suggested
    categories are as follows: less than 18·5 kg/m2
    underweight; 18·5–23 kg/m2 increasing but acceptable
    risk; 23–27·5 kg/m2 increased risk; and 27·5 kg/m2 or
    higher high risk.
    Hong Kong[edit]
    The Hospital Authority of Hong Kong recommends the use of the following BMI ranges: [20]

    Category BMI (kg/m2)


    from to
    Underweight 18.5
    Normal Range 18.5 23
    Overweight—At Risk 23 25
    Overweight—Moderately
    25 30
    Obese
    Overweight—Severely
    30
    Obese
    Singapore[edit]
    In Singapore, the BMI cut-off figures were revised in 2005, motivated by studies showing that many Asian populations, including Singaporeans,
    have higher proportion of body fat and increased risk for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitusmpared with Caucasians at the same
    BMI.
    The BMI cut-offs are presented with an emphasis on health risk rather than weight.[23]

    Health Risk BMI (kg/m2)


    Risk of developing problems
    such as nutritional deficiency 18.5
    and osteoporosis
    Low Risk (healthy range) 18.5 23
    Moderate risk of developing
    heart disease, high blood 23 27.5
    pressure, stroke, diabetes
    High risk of developing
    heart disease, high
    27.5
    blood pressure, stroke,
    diabetes
