If Mary's BMI is 23, what does it indicate about weight status?

BMI 23 is underweight

BMI 23 is overweight

BMI 23 is within a healthy range of 17.3 to 25.2

BMI compares weight to height to categorize weight status. A BMI of 23 falls in the healthy range, meaning Mary’s weight is appropriate for her height. It isn’t in the underweight, overweight, or obesity categories. The option stating that BMI 23 is within a healthy range of 17.3 to 25.2 reflects this interpretation. Remember, BMI is a useful screening tool but doesn’t assess body composition, fat distribution, or muscle mass, so it can misclassify some individuals.
