Which value of Body Mass Index puts clients at risk?

Less than 19 or greater than 25
Less than 18.5 or greater than 24.9
Less than 20 or greater than 30
Less than 18 or greater than 27

The correct answer is: Less than 19 or greater than 25

A body mass index (BMI) measures the amount of body fat based on a person's height and weight. A BMI that is less than 19 or greater than 25 is considered to be outside of the healthy range and can put clients at risk for health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Option B is not completely accurate as a BMI less than 18.5 is considered underweight, not necessarily at risk. Option C is incorrect as a BMI of 20 to 25 is generally considered healthy, while a BMI greater than 30 is considered obese. Option D is also incorrect as a BMI less than 18 or greater than 27 is not within the accepted healthy range.
