Frequently asked questions
- What BMI target should I use?
- The WHO healthy range is 18.5–24.9. A target of 22–23 represents the mid-healthy range. However, optimal BMI varies by age, sex, and ethnicity; consult a clinician for personalised targets.
- Does BMI account for muscle vs fat?
- No. BMI is purely weight divided by height squared and does not distinguish muscle from fat. A muscular athlete may have a BMI in the overweight range without excess fat.
