4Short answers to common questions about calculations and interpretation.
What does BMI show?
BMI shows the relationship between height and weight and places body weight into a broad category.
Is BMI an accurate body fat measure?
No. BMI does not distinguish between muscle, fat, and water, so it works best together with other metrics.
Why can athletes have a high BMI?
Because BMI only uses height and weight. More muscle can raise BMI without excess body fat.
Should I lose weight only because of BMI?
Not by itself. It is better to consider waist size, body fat, labs, and overall health context.
