The Body Mass Index (BMI) formula is used to categorize individuals based on their weight
relative to their height. Using your own height (66 inches), demonstrate how to calculate the
weight ranges for each of the four BMI intervals: underweight, normal weight, overweight, and
obese. Provide the compound inequalities for each category, solve them, and explain what
weight ranges correspond to each BMI interval. Additionally, discuss the limitations of using
BMI as a health measure and how factors like muscle mass and age may affect the results.
Word count requirement: 350-400 words.
