The person is over weight of the body mass index is between:
Correct answer: D. 25 to 29.9
- A. 15 to 24.9
- B. 17.5 to 24.9
- C. 18.5 to 24.9
- D. 25 to 29.9
Explanation
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a calculation that considers an individual's weight in relation to their height to estimate body fat. For adults, a BMI of less than 18.5 is underweight, 18.5 to 24.9 is healthy weight, 25 to 29.9 is overweight, 30 to 39.9 is obese, and 40 or above is severely obese. Therefore, a BMI of 25 to 29.9 indicates that a person is overweight. The other options describe BMI ranges that do not fall into the overweight category.
