Frequently asked questions

How is BMI calculated?
Weight (kg) ÷ height (m)². In imperial: weight (lb) × 703 ÷ height (in)².
What is a healthy BMI?
Under 18.5 underweight, 18.5–24.9 healthy, 25–29.9 overweight, 30+ obese (adults).
Is BMI accurate?
A useful general screen, but it doesn't separate muscle from fat or account for age/sex. Treat it as a rough guide.

BMI is a general screening tool, not medical advice. Consult a professional for health decisions.
