FAQ
Why are India/Asia BMI cut-offs different?
Some guidelines use lower BMI thresholds for Asian populations due to higher metabolic risk at lower BMI.
Is BMI enough to judge health?
No. BMI is a screening metric. Waist circumference, activity, diet, and labs matter too.
What should I do if my BMI is high?
Start with sustainable habits: daily walking, strength training, and improved diet. Consult a clinician if needed.
