Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate BMI?

BMI is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in meters squared (kg/m²). For example, a person weighing 70 kg and 1.75 m tall has a BMI of 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) = 22.9.

What is a normal BMI range?

A normal BMI range is 18.5 to 24.9. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25-29.9 is overweight, and 30 or above is obese according to WHO classification.

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

BMI doesn't directly measure body fat and may not accurately reflect body composition in athletes, elderly individuals, or those with high muscle mass. It's a screening tool, not a diagnostic measure. Always consult healthcare professionals for comprehensive health assessment.

Can I use BMI calculator with pounds and inches?

Yes, our BMI calculator supports both metric (kg/m) and imperial (lbs/inches) units. Simply select your preferred unit system before entering your measurements.
