Questions people ask

What is a healthy BMI?

For adults, the WHO range is 18.5 to 24.9. For South Asian adults many doctors use 18.5 to 22.9, because health risks start at a lower BMI.

Is BMI accurate?

It is a quick screening number only. It doesn’t tell muscle from fat and isn’t meant for children, pregnant women or athletes. A doctor can tell you what is right for you.

How is BMI calculated?

BMI = weight in kg ÷ (height in metres × height in metres).
