Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is BMI always accurate?
BMI is a useful population-level measure but it has limitations for individuals. It does not distinguish between fat and muscle mass. Therefore, very muscular people, such as athletes, may have a high BMI but be perfectly healthy. It's best used as a general guide and in conjunction with other health markers.
Does BMI apply to children?
This calculator is intended for adults aged 20 and over. BMI for children and teens is calculated using the same formula but is interpreted differently, using age- and sex-specific percentile charts.
