Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is BMI (Body Mass Index)?
BMI is a simple calculation using a person's height and weight. The formula determines if a person is underweight, healthy weight, overweight, or obese based on standard medical ranges.
What is a healthy BMI range?
For most adults, an ideal BMI falls within the 18.5 to 24.9 range. A BMI below 18.5 indicates underweight, 25 to 29.9 is overweight, and 30 or above is considered obese.
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
While BMI is a great general screening tool, it does have limitations. It does not distinguish between muscle mass and fat. Therefore, athletes or bodybuilders might have a high BMI without actually being overweight.
How often should I check my BMI?
Checking it once a month or during regular medical check-ups is sufficient. Drastic changes in weight should always be discussed with a certified healthcare professional.
