Frequently Asked Questions

What is a healthy BMI?

A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is generally considered healthy for most adults. Values outside this range may indicate underweight or overweight status.

Is BMI accurate for athletes?

BMI does not distinguish between muscle and fat. Very muscular individuals may have a high BMI without excess body fat.

Does BMI apply to children?

BMI for children is interpreted using age- and sex-specific percentiles, not the adult categories shown here.
