The category is based on standard adult BMI ranges.
Use context
BMI does not account for muscle mass, body composition, age, sex, or individual medical history.
FAQs
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
No. BMI is a simple screening tool and can be less useful for athletes, older adults, children, and some body types.
Does BMI measure body fat?
No. It uses height and weight only. It does not directly measure body fat or health status.
Should I make health decisions from BMI alone?
No. Use BMI as one data point and consult a qualified health professional for personal health guidance.
