Based on Aaron's BMI, he is in ____ range.

• A. Underweight
• B. Normal
• C. Overweight
• D. Obese

Answer: (B)

Body mass index (BMI) is a quick screening tool that uses height and weight to categorize weight status in adults. The common ranges are: underweight below 18.5, normal 18.5 to 24.9, overweight 25 to 29.9, and obesity 30 or higher. If Aaron’s BMI falls within 18.5 to 24.9, he is considered to be in the normal weight range. Keep in mind BMI doesn’t measure body fat directly or account for muscle mass, so very muscular individuals can fall into the higher categories even if body fat is low.
