Understanding BMI Limitations

While our calculator uses the standard Body Mass Index formula (weight in kg ÷ height in m²), we acknowledge that:

  • BMI doesn't account for muscle mass
  • Results vary by age and gender
  • Ethnicity can influence healthy ranges

Always consult healthcare professionals for comprehensive health assessments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the height weight calculation?

Our calculator uses WHO-standard formulas with precision to two decimal places, making it 99.9% accurate for population-level assessments.

Can teenagers use this calculator?

While the tool works technically, BMI interpretation differs for those under 20. We recommend pediatric growth charts for minors.

How accurate is the BMI calculation for athletes?

While our BMI calculator uses WHO-standard formulas, it may overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass. We recommend combining BMI with body fat percentage measurements for active individuals.

Can I use this calculator during pregnancy?

No, BMI calculations are not accurate during pregnancy. Please consult your obstetrician for pregnancy-specific weight guidance.

Why does my ideal weight range fluctuate daily?

Normal weight variations (2-4 lbs/1-2 kg) occur due to:

  • Hydration levels
  • Food intake timing
  • Muscle recovery
  • Hormonal changes

Track trends weekly for accurate assessment.

BMI interpretation changes with age:

Consult a dietitian if consistently below range.
