BMI between 30 and 35

Is a BMI between 30 and 35 good?

When an individual's BMI score is between 30 and 35 (30; 30.5; 31; 31.5; 32; 32.5; 33; 33.5; 34; 34.5) they are considered to have "obese class I". If you have concerns about your weight or BMI, it's recommended to speak with a healthcare provider.

The guideline is between 18.5 and 24.9 for a healthy BMI.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on your height and weight. You can either consult the BMI chart or use the BMI calculator provided below to determine your body mass index.

This range of BMI is linked to a greater chance of health issues like malnutrition, weakened immune system, and infertility. It's essential to acknowledge that although BMI can be a helpful metric for assessing body weight, it has its drawbacks. Other factors like body composition, waist circumference, and overall health condition should also be considered to obtain a complete picture of an individual's health.

Here is a range of most common height and weight combinations that would result in a BMI score between 30 and 35:

Height between 4 ft 10 and 5 ft (147 cm and 150 cm)

Height between 5 ft and 6 ft (151 cm and 182 cm)

Height between 6 ft and 6 ft 2 (183 cm and 188 cm)

It's important to remember that these are just estimates and that the appropriate weight for an individual depends on many factors, including their body composition, muscle mass, and overall health. Obese class I can be a serious health concern, and it's recommended to discuss your BMI and overall health with a healthcare provider if you fall into this category.
