BMI (Female)
Expert Tip
Women naturally carry more body fat than men at the same BMI. A waist circumference > 88 cm (35 in) is considered high risk for metabolic complications.
Calculation Methodology & Details
Formula
Standard WHO BMI categories apply. Female-specific waist thresholds are lower than male due to differences in fat distribution patterns.
