Frequently Asked Questions
How is BMI calculated?
BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height² (m). For example, for someone 1.75 m tall and 70 kg: 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) = 22.9.
What is a healthy BMI range?
According to the World Health Organization, below 18.5 is underweight, 18.5–24.9 is normal, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30 and above is obese.
Is BMI always an accurate indicator?
No — it can be misleading for athletes with high muscle mass, pregnant women and children. It is a general screening tool; consult a doctor for personal assessment.
