The Body Mass Index (BMI) of a malnourished person can vary, but it is often categorized as being underweight, typically defined as a BMI below 18.5. Malnutrition may be due to inadequate intake of nutrients or calories, leading to a lower weight relative to height. However, BMI alone does not provide a complete picture of malnutrition, as it does not account for factors like muscle mass and overall health.
