FAQ

What is BMI Prime?

BMI Prime is the ratio of your actual BMI to the upper limit of the normal range (25). A BMI Prime of 1.0 means you’re exactly at the boundary between normal and overweight. Below 1.0 is healthy, above 1.0 indicates excess weight.

Why is BMI Prime better than regular BMI?

BMI Prime is more intuitive. Instead of remembering “normal is 18.5-24.9,” you just need to know that 1.0 or less is healthy. A BMI Prime of 1.2 means you’re 20% above the normal limit.

How is BMI Prime calculated?

BMI Prime = your BMI / 25. So if your BMI is 30, your BMI Prime is 30/25 = 1.2. This means your BMI is 20% above the upper healthy limit.

Does BMI Prime have the same limitations as regular BMI?

Yes. Like BMI, BMI Prime doesn’t account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition. It’s best used as a screening tool alongside other health metrics.

Tips

• Use BMI Prime alongside the regular BMI calculator for a more complete picture
• A BMI Prime of exactly 1.0 is a good initial target for weight management goals
• Track your BMI Prime monthly rather than daily for meaningful trend data
