    FAQ

    BMI of 22 — is it good or bad?

    BMI 22 for Males and Females means Normal/Healthy Weight

    Is BMI of 22 in the healthy range?

    Yes, BMI of 22 falls into the "Normal/Healthy Weight" category. The healthy BMI range is 18.5 to 24.9.

    What weight gives a BMI of 22?

    BMI is weight divided by height in metres squared, so it names a weight only once the height is fixed: at 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) a BMI of 22 means about 140.2 lb (63.6 kg). A taller person reaches the same BMI at a proportionally higher weight.

    Does a BMI of 22 mean the same for men and women?

    Yes — the WHO adult scale has no separate cut-offs by sex, so a BMI of 22 reads as "Normal/Healthy Weight" for both. Age is what changes it: the same table applies from 18 to 65, while children and teenagers are compared with age-and-sex percentiles instead.
