About BMI

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple screening measure that uses your weight and height to estimate body fatness. While it doesn't directly measure body fat, it's a useful first-step indicator for weight categories that may lead to health problems.

BMI Limitations

  • Doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat mass
  • May overestimate body fat in athletes
  • May underestimate body fat in older adults
  • Not suitable for children under 2 years

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a healthy BMI?

A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered normal. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is classified as obese.

Is BMI accurate for athletes?

BMI does not distinguish between muscle and fat mass. Athletes with high muscle mass may have a high BMI despite being healthy.
