    FAQ

    BMI of 38 — is it good or bad?

    BMI 38 for Males and Females means Obese/Class II

    Is BMI of 38 dangerous?

    BMI of 38 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 38?

    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 38 means about 242.1 lb (109.8 kg). A taller person reaches the same BMI at a proportionally higher weight.

    Does a BMI of 38 mean the same for men and women?

    Yes — the WHO adult scale has no separate cut-offs by sex, so a BMI of 38 reads as "Obese/Class II" 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.
