Frequently Asked Questions

According to WHO standards: Below 18.5 is Underweight. 18.5–24.9 is Normal (healthy). 25.0–29.9 is Overweight. 30.0 and above is Obese. A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy for most adults.

BMI is calculated as: weight (kg) ÷ height² (m²). For example, a person weighing 70kg at 1.75m tall has a BMI of 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) = 22.9, which is Normal. Our calculator handles this instantly for both metric and imperial units.

BMI is a general population-level indicator. It does not account for muscle mass, so athletes and bodybuilders may have a high BMI despite low body fat. It also may not accurately reflect health risks for older adults or children. Always consult a doctor for personal health guidance.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a ratio of weight to height squared — it is a simple estimate of body composition. Body fat percentage measures the actual proportion of fat mass versus total mass. BMI is a quick screening tool, while body fat percentage requires specialized equipment (DEXA scan, calipers, or bioelectrical impedance) for accurate measurement.
