Frequently Asked Questions
What is BMI and how is it calculated?
BMI, or Body Mass Index, is calculated by dividing your weight (in kilograms) by your height (in meters) squared. For example, if you weigh 70 kilograms and are 1.75 meters tall, your BMI would be 22.9.
What do the different BMI categories mean?
The WHO defines the following BMI categories: Underweight (BMI < 18.5), Normal weight (BMI = 18.5-24.9), Overweight (BMI = 25-29.9), and Obese (BMI ≥ 30).
Is the BMI Calculator suitable for everyone?
While the BMI Calculator is a useful tool for most adults, it may not be suitable for everyone, such as athletes, pregnant women, or individuals with a muscular build. In these cases, other measures of health, such as waist circumference or body fat percentage, may be more accurate.
