FAQs

Q: What is a "healthy" BMI range?
  • A: For most adults, a healthy BMI falls between 18.5 and 24.9. Below 18.5 is considered underweight, and above 25.0 is considered overweight.

Q: Is BMI accurate for athletes?
  • A: BMI can be less accurate for very muscular individuals because it doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat. Muscle is denser than fat, which can result in a higher BMI.

Q: Who should use a BMI calculator?
  • A: It is a general screening tool for adults (18-65). It is not recommended for children, pregnant women, or elite athletes without medical consultation.
