Understanding BMI
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. It is a widely used screening tool for weight categories that may lead to health problems.

Limitations of BMI
- Muscle Mass: BMI doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat. Highly muscular athletes may have a high BMI but very low body fat.
- Age & Gender: BMI does not adjust for age or gender variations in body composition. Women naturally have more body fat than men.
- Bone Density: People with higher bone density will weigh more, raising their BMI without an increase in fat.
