About BMI
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation using your weight and height. It is used as a screening tool to identify potential weight-related health risks. The formula is: BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height² (m).
Limitations of BMI
- Muscle vs fat — athletes with high muscle mass often show a high BMI despite low body fat
- Age — healthy BMI ranges may differ for older adults and children
- Ethnicity — some ethnic groups may have higher health risks at lower BMI values
- Sex — men and women tend to carry body fat differently
BMI is a useful starting point but should always be interpreted alongside other health indicators. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalised advice.
