What are the BMI categories?

Under 18.5: Underweight. 18.5–24.9: Healthy weight. 25.0–29.9: Overweight. 30.0 and above: Obese. These are the categories defined by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Is BMI an accurate measure of health?

BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnostic measurement. It does not account for muscle mass, bone density, age, or fat distribution. Athletes often have high BMIs due to muscle. Always consult a healthcare provider for a complete health assessment.

Is BMI the same for adults and children?

No. Child and teen BMI (age 2–19) is interpreted using age- and sex-specific percentile charts, not fixed cutoffs, because body composition changes significantly during growth.
