Frequently Asked Questions

What is a normal BMI range?
For most adults, a normal BMI ranges between 18.5 and 24.9. Scores below 18.5 are considered underweight, 25 to 29.9 indicate overweight, and 30 or higher fall into the obesity range.

Is BMI accurate for everyone?
While this tool provides a helpful general estimate, it does not directly measure body fat. Athletes, pregnant women, and the elderly may find that their results require additional context from a healthcare provider.
