Frequently Asked Questions

Are there limitations to the BMI metric?

Yes. BMI is a general screening formula based on height and weight. It does not directly distinguish between muscle mass and fat tissue. Athletes and bodybuilders with high muscle mass may test as "overweight" despite low body fat.
