BMI Is a Screening Measure, Not a Diagnosis
Body mass index compares weight with height. It does not measure body fat directly and does not take into account muscle mass, bone density, body shape, age, sex or ethnicity. As a result, BMI can be misleading for some people, including:
- athletes and very muscular people
- pregnant or breastfeeding women
- older adults
- people of some ethnic backgrounds, for whom lower cut-off points are often recommended (the calculator offers an Asian cut-off option for this reason)
- children and teenagers, whose BMI must be read against age and sex percentile charts rather than the adult categories
Talk to a Health Professional

If you think you may have a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.
