What is a healthy BMI value for an adult?

A healthy Body Mass Index (BMI) value for an adult typically falls within the range of 18.5 to 24.9. The selection indicating a range of 18-24 closely aligns with this accepted standard for healthy body weight, as it covers a significant portion of the medically recognized normal BMI spectrum.

Maintaining a BMI within this range is associated with a lower risk of developing various health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. It represents a balanced body weight in relation to height, which contributes to overall physical well-being.

While other options may include figures that are too low or too high for healthy adult weight (e.g., values 12-18 are underweight, and 25-30 would typically be classified as overweight), the range of 18-24 is the most appropriate target for individuals seeking to maintain or improve their health through optimal weight management.
