Frequently Asked Questions

What is BMI?

Body Mass Index (BMI) = weight(kg) ÷ height²(m). It's a screening tool that categorizes adults into Underweight (<18.5), Normal (18.5-24.9), Overweight (25-29.9), and Obese (≥30).

Is BMI always accurate?

BMI doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, age or distribution of fat. Athletes may have high BMI despite low body fat. Always consult a doctor for a full health assessment.

What is a healthy BMI for Indians?

💡 Their BMI is 22.9, which is squarely in the "Normal Weight" category.

📌 The same person gains 15kg of muscle.

💡 Their BMI jumps to 27.8, classifying them as "Overweight", even though they are healthier.
