NOTE BMI should not be used as a guideline for health
risks for the following groups:
GROUP REASON
Children and teenagers BMI ranges are only based
on adult heights.
Athletes and body
builders
BMI does not differentiate
between fat and muscle,
thus making it inaccurate
for persons with high muscle
volumes.
Pregnant or nursing
women
This group generates
naturally high fat reserves as
part of the pregnancy.
People over the age
of 65
Fat reserves naturally tend
to be higher with older
persons.
