FAQ
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple index of weight-for-height that is commonly used to classify underweight, overweight, and obesity in adults.
BMI is a useful general screening tool, but it doesn't directly measure body fat. It might not be accurate for athletes with high muscle mass, pregnant women, or the elderly.
According to WHO: Underweight (< 18.5), Normal weight (18.5–24.9), Overweight (25.0–29.9), and Obese (≥ 30.0).
For Metric: BMI = weight(kg) / height(m)². For Imperial: BMI = (weight(lb) / height(in)²) × 703.
