BMI Is a Screening Estimate

When BMI Can Be Useful

FAQ
Is BMI an accurate measure of health?
BMI is a screening tool only. It does not account for muscle mass, bone density, age, or sex. Athletes often have a high BMI despite low body fat.
What is a normal BMI range?
The WHO defines normal BMI as 18.5 to 24.9. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25 to 29.9 is overweight, and 30 or above is obese.
Can children use this BMI calculator?
Standard BMI charts are designed for adults aged 20 and older. Children and teenagers require age-specific percentile charts.
