What Is BMI Men?

BMI for men uses the standard BMI formula with context specific to men's health. Men typically have more muscle mass, which can affect BMI readings.

Formula

BMI = (weight in lbs × 703) / (height in inches)²

Example

A man who is 5'10" and weighs 180 lbs has a BMI of 25.8, which is in the overweight range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is BMI reliable for muscular men?

No. BMI doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat. Athletic men with significant muscle mass may have a high BMI despite low body fat.

What BMI should men aim for?

A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy, but waist circumference and body fat percentage are also important indicators.
