Frequently Asked Questions

What does BMI measure?
BMI (Body Mass Index) estimates body fat based on weight and height. It is used as a screening tool to identify weight categories that may lead to health problems.
What are the BMI categories?
Underweight: below 18.5. Normal weight: 18.5–24.9. Overweight: 25–29.9. Obese: 30 and above. These categories apply to adults aged 18 and over.
Is BMI an accurate measure of health?
BMI does not measure body fat percentage directly and does not account for muscle mass, bone density, age, or sex. Athletes may have a high BMI despite low body fat. Use it as one indicator among many.
