Some exceptions
The Body Mass Index (BMI) does not distinguish between muscle and body fat weight, so it does not take into account differences in body composition. Elite sportspersons may have a higher BMI due to higher muscle mass not body fat.
This BMI calculator is not suitable for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders whose healthy BMI range may be lower than that for Australians of European descent, due to their ancestry as traditional hunter-gatherers who were lean and physically fit.
Always check with your doctor if you are concerned about your weight.
This calculator is an indicator of healthy weight ranges for people over 18 years.
