Taiwan adult referenceNormal range

BMI = kg/m². Displayed values are approximate; classification uses the unrounded value. For adults aged 18 and above only. A single measure cannot establish overall health; this classification does not apply during pregnancy.

Method and scope

BMI equals weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. The Taiwan adult normal-reference interval is 18.5 up to, but not including, 24.

BMI is a weight-to-height screening reference rather than a diagnosis of overall health. The category here follows Taiwan adult references.

This classification is for adults aged at least 18 and does not apply during pregnancy. Children need age-specific growth assessment, and individual health questions require professional evaluation.
