Apna BMI jaaniye
Height aur weight daaliye — BMI turant dikhega, wo bhi Indian (South Asian) cut-offs par. Yahi cut-offs ICMR aur Indian obesity guidelines follow karti hain, aur ye WHO ke international numbers se neeche hain.

Aapka BMI
Indian cut-offs: Underweight < 18.5 · Normal 18.5–22.9 · Overweight 23–24.9 · Obese ≥ 25.
BMI sirf height aur weight ka ratio hai. Yeh muscle mass aur body composition ko nahi dekhta — ek gym-going person ka BMI zyada dikh sakta hai jabki fat kam ho, aur "normal" BMI par bhi belly fat zyada ho sakta hai.
Indians ke liye BMI cut-offs alag kyun hain?
BMI ka formula seedha hai — weight (kg) divide by height (metre) ka square. Jo cheez alag hai wo hai uska matlab. WHO ke international cut-offs overweight ko 25 par aur obesity ko 30 par rakhte hain, lekin ye numbers South Asians ke liye risk ko understate karte hain. Isi wajah se India 23 aur 25 use karta hai.
Research baar baar dikhati hai ki same BMI par Indians mein body fat percentage zyada hota hai, wo fat pet ke andar (visceral fat) zyada jama hota hai, aur insulin resistance jaldi shuru ho jaati hai. Iska matlab — 24 ka BMI, jo international chart par "normal" hai, ek Indian adult ke liye already type 2 diabetes, fatty liver aur high blood pressure ka badhaa hua risk dikhaata hai. Isi evidence par ICMR aur Indian consensus guidelines ne overweight ko 23 aur obesity ko 25 par set kiya.
Practical matlab yeh hai: agar aapka BMI 23 aur 25 ke beech hai, ghabraane ki baat nahi hai — lekin yeh ek signal hai ki aapko waist circumference, fasting sugar aur lipid profile check karwa lena chahiye. Aur agar BMI normal hai par pet nikla hua hai, to bhi wahi tests kaam ke hain. BMI conversation shuru karta hai; woh conversation khatam nahi karta.
Aksar poochhe jaane waale sawaal
Indians ke liye normal BMI kitna hota hai?
Indian aur South Asian adults ke liye healthy range 18.5–22.9 hai. 23–24.9 overweight aur 25 se upar obese maana jaata hai. Ye numbers WHO ke 25 aur 30 se neeche hain kyunki same BMI par hamaare mein body fat aur metabolic risk zyada hota hai.
Kya BMI ek accurate measure hai?
BMI ek screening number hai, diagnosis nahi. Yeh muscle, fat aur bone mein farq nahi karta. Ek athlete ka BMI high dikh sakta hai bina extra fat ke, aur "normal" BMI wale logon mein bhi visceral fat zyada ho sakta hai. Waist circumference aur blood tests ke saath dekhiye.
BMI ke saath aur kya check karna chahiye?
Waist circumference (purush < 90 cm, mahila < 80 cm), waist-to-height ratio (0.5 se kam), fasting blood sugar ya HbA1c, lipid profile aur blood pressure. Ye milkar aapki metabolic health kaafi better dikhaate hain.
Yeh ek estimate hai, medical advice nahi. BMI ek general screening tool hai aur pregnancy, growing children, athletes, bahut buzurg logon ya kisi bhi medical condition ke liye alag interpretation chahiye. Apne numbers par koi bhi decision lene se pehle apne doctor ya Registered Dietitian se baat kijiye.
