Frequently Asked Questions
What is BMI (Body Mass Index)?
BMI is a measurement of a person's weight relative to their height. It serves as an indicator of body fatness categories.
How is BMI calculated?
The formula is: BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2. In imperial units: BMI = (weight (lbs) / height (in)^2) * 703.
What are the standard BMI weight categories?
Standard categories are: Underweight (<18.5), Normal weight (18.5–24.9), Overweight (25–29.9), and Obese (30 or greater).
What are the limitations of BMI as a health metric?
BMI does not directly measure body fat or muscle mass. Highly muscular athletes may be categorized as "overweight" or "obese" despite having very low body fat.
Is the BMI formula the same for men and women?
Yes, the basic calculation formula is identical for all adult men and women, although fat distribution patterns differ.
What is a healthy BMI range?
A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered normal or healthy according to World Health Organization standards.
Can I calculate child or teen BMI here?
Adult BMI calculations are static, but child/teen BMI must be plotted on growth percentiles relative to age and gender.
Is my height/weight data stored on the server?
No. All calculations run strictly in your local browser sandbox to ensure your health metrics remain confidential.
