FAQ

Is BMI a good measure of health?+

It's a rough screen, not a diagnosis. It doesn't distinguish muscle from fat, so athletes often score 'overweight' while skinny people with low muscle can score 'healthy' but have poor metabolic health.

What are the categories?+

Under 18.5 is underweight, 18.5 to 24.9 is healthy, 25 to 29.9 is overweight, 30 and up is obese. These are WHO standards for adults.
