Frequently asked questions

Which BMI formula is used?

Standard WHO formula: weight (kg) / height (m)². For imperial inputs we use the equivalent (lb × 703) / inches², which gives the same result.

Are the BMI categories official?

Yes — Underweight (<18.5), Normal (18.5–24.9), Overweight (25–29.9), Obese (≥30) per the WHO classification for adults.

Is BMI suitable for athletes or children?

BMI is a population-level indicator and can be misleading for very muscular individuals, pregnant women or children. Treat the number as a starting point, not a diagnosis.
