Having knowledge of your BMI can help you to understand your overall health because it provides a full idea of whether your weight is a healthy one for your height. A high BMI may show a higher risk for health issues which are diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. On the other hand, having a low BMI may indicate malnutrition or some other health issues. By having understanding your BMI, you can take steps in improving your health and reducing your risk of having any chronic diseases.

As BMI is a useful tool for knowing your weight status, it is not also the best indicator of an individual overall health status. BMI do not take into account the factors which include bone density,muscle mass, or the distribution of fat in the human body. For example, a person who is so muscular might have a high BMI but be in a better health. A person with a normal BMI might have a high percentage of body fat and could be at risk of some health issues. Therefore, it is nessacery to consider some other factors which are waist circumference, body composition, and lifestyle habits when checking your health status.
