BMI: Concepts & Interpretation
1) What is BMI?
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a calculation that relates weight and height to estimate a weight range.
2) How is BMI calculated?
BMI = weight (kg) ÷ [height (m)]². Example: 70 ÷ (1.70 × 1.70) ≈ 24.22.
3) Is BMI a diagnosis?
No. It is an initial indicator. For a complete assessment, please consult a healthcare professional.
4) Why does my BMI not seem to reflect my body?
People with high muscle mass, pregnant women, seniors, and certain specific profiles may have a BMI that is less representative of their body composition.

5) Which calculator should I use?
If unsure, start with the General BMI Calculator. If you prefer, use the specific versions (male / female / seniors).
6) What unit should I enter?
Weight in kg and height in centimeters (e.g., 170). If you enter 1.70 (m), the result will be incorrect.
7) Why are there different tables?
