Frequently Asked Questions
What is BMI?
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a numerical value of your body weight in relation to your height. It's used to estimate whether you have a healthy body weight for your height.
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
BMI is a general indicator and doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, age, or gender. Athletes may have a high BMI due to muscle, not fat. Consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
What's the healthy BMI range?
For most adults, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25-29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is obese.
Should I rely solely on BMI?
No, BMI is just one indicator of health. Other factors like blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and physical activity are also important. Always consult a healthcare professional for health advice.
