Good to know

BMI has limitations.

BMI does not directly measure body fat, muscle mass, bone density, or how fat is distributed. Athletes and people with higher muscle mass may receive a result that does not reflect their overall health.

Age, sex, ethnicity, pregnancy, and individual health conditions may also affect how a result should be interpreted. A healthcare professional can provide advice based on your complete health picture.

Common questions

BMI, explained simply.

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

BMI is a useful screening measure, but it does not distinguish between muscle and body fat or account for every difference in body composition.

What is a healthy BMI?

For most adults, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is generally considered within the healthy range.

How often should I check my BMI?

Occasional checks can help you notice broad trends. Day-to-day changes are less meaningful than patterns over time.
