❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about BMI Calculator.
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a numerical value calculated from a person's height and weight to assess whether they are underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.
BMI is calculated using the formula: Weight (kg) ÷ Height² (m²)
A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is generally considered healthy for most adults.
BMI is a useful screening tool but does not directly measure body fat, muscle mass, or fitness levels.
Athletes can use BMI, but results may be misleading because increased muscle mass can raise BMI without indicating excess body fat.
For adults, BMI categories remain the same regardless of age. Children's BMI calculations are different and use age-specific charts.
