Interpretation

This is an estimated range

BMI is a screening measure, not a direct measurement of body fat or health. Results use the CDC adult reference interval.

Not a diagnosis

For general health education and estimation only. It does not diagnose a condition and is not treatment, medication, diet or training advice.

01

Formula used

BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)²

Suitable population

Adults aged 20 or older who are not pregnant, for rough screening only.

02

When not to use it

Children, teenagers, pregnancy, competitive athletes, very muscular people and people with oedema require different interpretation.

Data error and uncertainty

Input accuracy, measurement technique, rounding and individual variation all affect the result. Internal precision is retained and only displayed values are rounded.

03

When to seek help

Seek professional advice for a markedly high or low result, rapid unexplained weight change, or concerning symptoms.
