🧐 Frequently Asked Questions
What is a healthy BMI?
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines a healthy BMI as being between 18.5 and 24.9. Scores of 25.0 or higher are classified as overweight.
Is BMI accurate for athletes?
Because BMI only uses total weight and height, it does not distinguish between muscle and fat. Muscular athletes may be classified as "Overweight" despite having low body fat. Use this tool as a general health reference rather than a definitive medical diagnosis.
