If it was two level, you can use proc ttest for parameter test and proc npar1way(Wilconx test) for non-parameter test.

It it was three or more levels ,that means you need multi-comparison , check proc glm + means .

for comparing the BMI Categories by sex, you would need PROC FREQ, as that is a 2x3 table.

If you scored the BMI categories to get a rank, you could use NPAR1WAY, but it is much less sensitive to differences than the original scale.
