Frequently Asked Questions
A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is generally considered normal/healthy for most adults, as per WHO guidelines.
BMI is a general screening tool and does not account for muscle mass, bone density or body composition. Athletes and very muscular individuals may show a high BMI despite low body fat.
The BMI formula itself is the same for men and women, though healthy fat percentage ranges differ slightly between genders.
A combination of balanced diet, regular physical activity and consulting a healthcare professional is recommended to move toward a healthy BMI range.
