Overweight BMI is defined as which range?

• A. 18.5-24.9 kg/m^2
• B. 25-29.9 kg/m^2
• C. 30-39.9 kg/m^2
• D. >40 kg/m^2

Answer: (B)

BMI categories are used to classify weight status, with the range for overweight defined as a BMI between 25 and 29.9 kg/m^2. This sits above normal weight (18.5–24.9) and below obesity (starting at 30 and higher, with higher subcategories for more severe obesity). So the correct range is 25–29.9 kg/m^2.
