Did You Know?

BMI was developed by Belgian mathematician Adolphe Quetelet in the 1830s as a simple way to measure obesity in the general population.

A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered the healthy weight range for most adults, though it may not be accurate for athletes with high muscle mass.

BMI is used by healthcare professionals worldwide as a quick screening tool, but it doesn't measure body fat directly or account for muscle mass, bone density, age, and sex.

These facts help provide context and educational value about the tool's purpose and history.
