FAQ

BMI of 35 — is it good or bad?

BMI 35 for Males and Females means Obese/Class II

Is BMI of 35 dangerous?

BMI of 35 falls into the "Obese/Class II" category. A BMI above 24.9 may indicate excess body weight. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

What weight gives a BMI of 35?

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 35 means about 223.1 lb (101.2 kg). A taller person reaches the same BMI at a proportionally higher weight.

Does a BMI of 35 mean the same for men and women?

Yes — the WHO adult scale has no separate cut-offs by sex, so a BMI of 35 reads as "Obese/Class II" for both. Age is what changes it: the adult table starts at 18, while children and teenagers aged 5–19 are compared with age- and sex-specific reference values instead.
