Frequently Asked Questions

Do muscular men get misleading BMI?

Often yes — muscle is denser than fat, so athletes can score 'overweight' while being healthy. Body-fat percentage is a better metric for muscular builds.

What is a healthy BMI for men?

The WHO range is 18.5–24.9 for all adults; men tend to store fat viscerally, so waist measurement adds useful context.

Is BMI a medical diagnosis?

No. It is a screening number; consult a professional for health advice.
