Frequently Asked Questions

?
What is a healthy BMI for my age and gender?

For adults over 20, a healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9. This standard applies to both men and women. However, older adults (65+) may benefit from a slightly higher BMI (up to 27) for better health protection according to recent studies.

?
How is BMI calculated?

BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared (kg/m²). For example: a person weighing 70 kg and 1.75 m tall has BMI = 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) = 22.9. Our tool supports both metric and imperial units.

?
What are the WHO BMI categories?

The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies BMI as: Underweight (<18.5), Normal weight (18.5–24.9), Overweight (25–29.9), Obesity Class I (30–34.9), Obesity Class II (35–39.9), and Severe Obesity (≥40).

?
How accurate is the BMI calculator for athletes?

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass because muscle is denser than fat. In these cases, use our BMI calculator alongside the body fat percentage calculator for a more complete picture.

?
