Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can someone have a normal BMI but still be unhealthy?
A: Yes. BMI doesn't account for muscle mass or fat distribution. Body fat percentage and waist circumference are more comprehensive indicators.
Q: Are Asian BMI thresholds different from the WHO standard?
A: Yes. The Asia-Pacific guidelines classify overweight as BMI ≥ 23 and obese as BMI ≥ 25, which is lower than the WHO standard (25/30).
Q: Is BMI accurate for children and teenagers?
A: No, children use age-specific growth charts with BMI-for-age percentiles, not fixed adult thresholds.
Tips
Even if your BMI is in the normal range, central obesity (high waist circumference) is a significant metabolic risk factor. Regular exercise and a balanced diet matter more than hitting a specific BMI number.
