Frequently Asked Questions
Is BMI accurate?
BMI is a useful screening tool but not a diagnostic measure. It doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition. Use it as one indicator alongside other health metrics.
How often should I check my BMI?
If you're monitoring weight changes, checking monthly or quarterly is sufficient. BMI is best used to track trends over time rather than daily fluctuations.
What should I do if my BMI is outside the normal range?
Consult with a healthcare provider who can assess your overall health, body composition, and provide personalized recommendations based on your individual circumstances.
