FAQ – BMI Calculator
Q: What is BMI and why is it important?
A: BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure that uses your height and weight to estimate body fat. It's important because it's a quick, non-invasive screening tool that helps identify potential weight-related health risks like heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension.
Q: How accurate is BMI?
A: BMI is a reliable screening tool for most adults but doesn't directly measure body fat. It may not be accurate for athletes, elderly people, or pregnant women who have different body compositions.
Q: Can I use this calculator for children?
A: BMI for children (ages 2-19) requires special growth charts and percentile comparisons. This calculator is designed for adults aged 20 and older. Consult a pediatrician for children's BMI assessment.
Q: What's a healthy BMI range?
A: For adults, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy. Below 18.5 is underweight, 25-29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is considered obese.
Q: Is my weight data stored anywhere?
A: No. All calculations happen in your browser and your health data is never sent to any server. It's 100% private and secure.
Q: Can BMI tell me if I need to lose weight?
A: BMI is a useful screening tool but not a diagnostic one. If your BMI falls outside the normal range, consult with a healthcare professional for a comprehensive assessment. Factors like muscle mass, bone density, and overall health should also be considered.
