Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the BMI categories mean?

Underweight: BMI below 18.5. Normal Weight: BMI 18.5-24.9. Overweight: BMI 25-29.9. Obese: BMI 30 and above. BMI is a general indicator but doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or fitness level.

Is BMI accurate for athletes or muscular people?

No, BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes and muscular individuals since muscle weighs more than fat. Body composition tests are more accurate for these groups.

What is a healthy BMI?

A healthy BMI ranges from 18.5 to 24.9, classified as 'Normal Weight.' However, BMI is just one health indicator and should be considered alongside fitness level, diet, and overall health.
