Frequently Asked Questions

What is a healthy BMI range?
According to the World Health Organization, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered normal weight for adults. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30 or above is obese.
Is BMI an accurate measure of health?
BMI is a useful screening tool but does not directly measure body fat or account for factors like muscle mass, age, or ethnicity. Consult a healthcare provider for a full health assessment.
Can children use this calculator?
This calculator uses the standard adult BMI formula. BMI for children and teens is assessed differently, using age- and sex-specific percentile charts.
