What is my BMI and is it accurate?
BMI = weight(kg) / height(m)². A 5'10" 180 lb person = BMI 25.8 (overweight). But BMI ignores body composition — a muscular athlete and a sedentary person can have identical BMIs. Use body fat percentage for a more accurate picture. BMI is a population screening tool, not an individual diagnostic.
