What BMI range is classified as overweight?

Below 25
25 to 29.9
30 to 34.9
35 and above

The correct answer is: 25 to 29.9

The classification of Body Mass Index (BMI) is based on specific ranges that are used to determine whether an individual is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese. The range classified as overweight is from 25 to 29.9. This categorization is important for assessing potential health risks associated with excess weight. Individuals within this BMI range are not yet classified as obese, which starts at a BMI of 30. Being aware of BMI classifications helps health professionals, including Certified Dietary Managers, to identify individuals who may need dietary modifications or interventions to address weight-related health issues. Understanding these classifications is essential for effective health evaluations and dietary planning.
