Frequently asked questions

What is BMI?

BMI (Body Mass Index) is weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in metres. It is a widely used screening measure for weight-related health risk.

What is a healthy BMI range?

18.5–24.9 is considered normal. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30 or above is obese.

Is BMI accurate for athletes or muscular people?

Not always — muscle weighs more than fat, so very muscular people can show a high BMI while being fit. Pregnant women and the elderly should also treat it as a rough guide and consult a doctor.
