BMI = 18
Your body mass index (BMI) is calculated as exactly 18.4 kilograms per square meter.
Health aspects
Your weight is at a marginally lower level; in our view, it still should still be fine for your health. By classification of the WHO, you are "underweight".
Being slim due to fitness is good for your health. In contrast, being slim or losing weight due to nicotine, or a reduced appetite, poor digestion or a serious disease would be a bad sign. Thus, your health prospects are excellent if you do not smoke and if your weight remains stable.
SBMI = 31/70
This assessment is based on the newly developed Smart Body Mass Index. Its ideal range is between 30/70 and 39/70.
Your Smart Body Mass Index (SBMI) is calculated as 31/70 or "31 points out of 70".
Weight stability
A stable weight at this level can be optimal but gaining some weight by building up muscle mass could be even better.
Weight management
Nutrition
Eat a variety of foods that you like, optimally including five servings of fruit and/or vegetables a day. Avoid eating too sweet, too fat and too much.
Physical activity
Do physical exercise at least for half an hour daily at moderate to vigorous intensity.
