FAQ
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
No. BMI is a screening tool, not a diagnostic tool. It doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition.
What should I do if my BMI is high?
Consult a healthcare provider for a comprehensive health assessment. They can evaluate other factors like waist circumference, body fat percentage, and overall health.
