What BMI category is given to individuals with a BMI of 32?

Underweight
Normal
Class 1 Obesity
Class 2 Obesity

The correct answer is: Class 1 Obesity

A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 32 falls into the category of Class 1 Obesity. The BMI classification system divides BMI values into several categories based on the associated health risks. For adults, the categories are defined as follows: - Underweight is a BMI less than 18.5. - Normal weight ranges from 18.5 to 24.9. - Overweight is classified as a BMI between 25 and 29.9. - Class 1 Obesity is defined as a BMI between 30 and 34.9. Since a BMI of 32 is within the range for Class 1 Obesity, it indicates that the individual may have an increased risk for various health conditions due to excess body weight. Class 2 Obesity starts at a BMI of 35, which is why a BMI of 32 does not fit into that category. Overall, understanding these classifications is vital for personal trainers in assessing clients' health risks and designing appropriate fitness and nutrition programs.
