Frequently asked questions
How is BMI calculated?
BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)². In imperial units it's 703 × weight (lb) ÷ height (in)². It estimates body fat from height and weight.
What are the BMI categories?
Under 18.5 is underweight, 18.5–24.9 is a healthy weight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30 or above is in the obese range (adult guidelines).
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
BMI is a useful general screen but doesn't distinguish muscle from fat, so it can misclassify athletes and others. Treat it as a starting point, not a diagnosis.
