And what do they really tell you about your lifetime health? Some experts tout BMI, or body mass index, as the most accurate way to determine the effect of weight on your health. In fact, most recent medical research uses BMI as an indicator of someone's health status and disease lifetime risk. The CDC provides the following ranges for BMI values for adults: Underweight Less than 18.5Recommended 18.6 to 24.9Overweight 25.0 to 29.9Obese 30 or greater But others feel that body-fat percentage is really the way to go. "The BMI lifetime numbers are way too general to be really useful," says Tammy Callahan, marketing manager of Life Measurement Inc., which manufactures a fat analyzer for use in gymnasiums and medical settings.
