Pertanyaan Umum (FAQ)
- T. Is BMI calculation accurate?
- J. BMI is a convenient indicator for estimating body fat percentage, but may be inaccurate for athletes with high muscle mass or the elderly. For accurate body fat measurement, professional consultation is recommended.
- T. Is the Asian standard different?
- J. Yes, Asians have higher body fat percentage and higher obesity-related disease risk at the same BMI compared to Westerners. Therefore, the Asian standard (WPRO 2000) applies a stricter normal range of 18.5-23 compared to Westerners (18.5-25).
