Frequently asked questions

What is a healthy BMI?

For adults, a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered normal by the WHO.

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

BMI does not tell muscle from fat, so athletes may show a high BMI while being healthy. It is also not meant for children or pregnant women. Talk to a doctor for a full assessment.

How do I convert feet and inches to cm?

Multiply feet by 30.48 and inches by 2.54, then add them. For example, 5 feet 7 inches ≈ 152.4 + 17.8 = 170 cm.
