It might be one of the most used health metrics in the world, but there's a simpler (and perhaps more reliable) way to work out if you're a healthy weight than using BMI.
Body Mass Index (BMI) measurements have been the standard way to work out if someone is a healthy weight for decades. If you've ever had your weight and height measured together at the doctor's, it's likely been used to work out your BMI. Having a score between 18.5 to 24.9 would suggest you're 'healthy', with 25 to 29.9 being considered 'overweight'.
