Is BMI accurate for athletes?

BMI doesn't differentiate muscle from fat — athletes may show 'overweight' despite being healthy. Use it as a guide, not a diagnosis.

What is a healthy BMI?

WHO classifies 18.5–24.9 as the normal range.

BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m)²

Example: 70 kg, 1.70 m → 70 / (1.70)² ≈ 24.2 (Normal).

BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Always consult a doctor for personalised medical advice.
