Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is BMI?

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a numerical value calculated from your weight and height. It's used as a screening tool to categorize whether a person has a healthy weight for their height. BMI = weight (kg) Γ· heightΒ² (mΒ²).

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

BMI is a general screening tool and doesn't work perfectly for everyone. It may overestimate body fat in athletes and muscular people, and underestimate it in older adults. It's best used alongside other health assessments.

What is a healthy BMI range?

For most adults, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is obese.

Does BMI apply to children?

No, this calculator is for adults (20 years and older). Children and teenagers use BMI-for-age percentiles, which are different from adult BMI categories.

Does BMI differ by gender?

No. BMI is calculated the same way for both men and women. However, women naturally tend to have more body fat than men at the same BMI.
