BMI testing is used to check if your weight is within range for your height. Although this test is often used to check if
you are within the commonly accepted ranges of weight, it's not perfect. This is due to differences in body frames,
metabolic rates, age groups, and a lifestyles.
Most importantly, we should be healthy, full of energy and happy no matter what our current BMI reading. It can be equally bad to have too low a BMI reading as a high reading. We think that BMI should be between about 18-25 for most people.
Note that any test results are approximate, and may not be accurate. Its fine for using as a guideline, but not suitable
for any purpose where accuracy is required.
