FAQ
What is a healthy BMI range?
A healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9. Below 18.5 is considered underweight, 25-29.9 is overweight, and 30 or above is classified as obese.
How accurate is BMI?
BMI is a useful screening tool but does not directly measure body fat. It may not be accurate for athletes with high muscle mass or elderly individuals.
How do I calculate BMI manually?
BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared. The formula is: BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2.
Does BMI apply to children?
For children and teens, BMI is interpreted differently using age- and sex-specific percentiles. This calculator is designed for adults aged 20 and older.
Is BMI different for men and women?
The BMI formula is the same for both men and women. However, women naturally carry more body fat, so a healthy body fat percentage differs by gender even at the same BMI.
