A body mass index of _____ would place an individual in the "normal weight" category.

  1. 15

  2. 18

  3. 22

  4. 26

The correct answer is: 22

A body mass index (BMI) that falls within the range for "normal weight" is typically defined as being between 18.5 and 24.9. A BMI of 22 comfortably fits within this normal range, indicating a healthy weight for the individual's height. When assessing BMI values, it's important to recognize that values below 18.5 can categorize individuals as underweight, which could lead to various health risks. Conversely, a BMI of 26 would place someone in the "overweight" category, suggesting a need for attention to lifestyle and health management. Thus, a BMI of 22 is indicative of a balanced and healthy body weight, making it the appropriate choice for the "normal weight" category.
