What is the normal BMI range as per Quetelet's index?

  • A.15.0 - 22.5
  • B.18.5 - 24.5
  • C.20.0 - 30.0
  • D.25.5 - 29.5

Answer: B

The normal range is 18.5 - 24.5.

Quetelet's index is the body mass index, weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in metres. The WHO classes a BMI from 18.5 up to just under 25 as normal, below 18.5 as underweight, 25 to 29.9 as overweight and 30 or more as obese.

Among the options only 18.5-24.5 lies within the normal band. 15.0-22.5 starts in the underweight range, 20.0-30.0 runs into obesity, and 25.5-29.5 is the overweight range.
