Frequently Asked Questions

What is BMI?

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a simple measure of body fat based on height and weight. It's calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters (kg/m²).

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

BMI is a useful screening tool but doesn't directly measure body fat. It may not be accurate for athletes (high muscle mass), elderly people, or children. Consult a healthcare professional for a complete assessment.

What is a healthy BMI range?

A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered normal/healthy weight. Below 18.5 is underweight, and above 25 is overweight.

How is BMI calculated?

BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height² (m²). For example, a person weighing 70 kg and 175 cm tall: BMI = 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) = 22.86.
