Frequently Asked Questions
What is a healthy BMI?
For most adults, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy. However, BMI does not account for muscle mass, bone density, or fat distribution.
Should BMI be used during pregnancy?
Pre-pregnancy BMI is used to set gestational weight gain goals. BMI is not typically recalculated during pregnancy because weight gain is expected.
Are there BMI limitations for athletes?
Yes. Athletes with higher muscle mass may have a higher BMI without excess body fat. Waist circumference and body composition provide additional context.
How can I lower my BMI safely?
A combination of balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and behavioral support is the safest approach.
