Frequently Asked Questions

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. It's used as a screening tool to indicate whether a person has a healthy body weight.

How is BMI calculated?

BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2. For imperial units, BMI = (weight in pounds ร— 703) / (height in inches)^2.

A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered healthy. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25-29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is obese.

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

BMI is a general indicator and may not be accurate for athletes, elderly, or people with high muscle mass. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
