Frequently Asked Questions
What is a healthy BMI range?
A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is generally considered normal weight. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25 to 29.9 is overweight, and 30 or above is classified as obese. However, BMI does not account for muscle mass or body composition.
Is BMI accurate for athletes?
BMI can be misleading for muscular individuals because muscle weighs more than fat. Athletes with high muscle mass may have a high BMI but low body fat. Consider complementing BMI with body fat percentage measurements.
Does this calculator work for children?
This calculator is designed for adults aged 20 and over. BMI interpretation for children and teens requires age- and sex-specific percentile charts, which differ from adult categories.
