BMI calculator: demand and opportunity research

AltF Signals rates "bmi calculator" at 80 out of 100 on AltFTool's own editorial opportunity scale, against no sourced search-volume estimate and high competition. AltFTool ships this: the BMI Calculator takes metric or imperial height and weight, gives BMI with its standard adult category and a healthy weight range for your height, and adds a BMR estimate when you enter age and sex. It uses adult cut-offs only and is a screening number, not a diagnosis.

BMI calculator: questions and answers

Is BMI accurate for everyone?

No. It ignores muscle, frame and where fat is carried, so athletes can read as overweight and some people read as healthy while carrying risk. Some health bodies also use lower cut-offs for people of Asian descent, which the linked Asian BMI tool covers.

Can I use it for a child?

Not reliably. Children are assessed against age and sex growth charts, not adult categories, and this calculator applies the adult ones. Ask a doctor or use a paediatric BMI chart.
