Explanation:

1. BMI Classification:

• The Body Mass Index (BMI) categories are as follows:
• Underweight: BMI < 18.5
• Normal (healthy) weight: 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25
• Overweight: 25 ≤ BMI < 30
• Obesity: BMI ≥ 30
• Since 34.5 ≥ 30, a BMI of 34.5 is classified as obesity.

1. Body Fat Percentage for Women with Obesity:

• Generally, for women:
• A body fat percentage between 23 - 31% is considered healthy.
• A body fat percentage between 32 - 37% is classified as overweight.
• A body fat percentage between 38 - 42% is classified as having obesity.
• 43% or more is classified as morbid obesity.

1. BMI Measurement Factors:

• The formula for BMI is \(BMI=\frac{weight\ (kg)}{height^{2}\ (m^{2})}\).
• It only takes into account weight and height. Age, gender, and race are not part of the BMI formula.
