Frequently Asked Questions

Is BMI different for women?

The formula and healthy range (18.5–24.9) are the same for adult women and men. Women naturally carry a higher body-fat percentage at the same BMI.

Can I use BMI during pregnancy?

No — BMI is not valid during pregnancy. Pre-pregnancy BMI is used to guide healthy weight gain instead.

Is BMI a medical diagnosis?

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