Frequently asked questions

Is BMI accurate for athletes?

No. Muscle is denser than fat, so muscular people often read as overweight despite low body fat. Use waist-to-height or body fat instead.

What BMI is healthy?

18.5 to 24.9 for most adults. Risk rises below 18.5 and above 25, though the cutoffs differ for some Asian populations.
