How to read this
The numbers shown are the body-weight values that fall inside BMI 18.5 – 24.9 for your height. The WHO uses that band in population-level health surveys; Health Canada uses it the same way in national statistics. It is a reference range for a public-health system, not a personal weight prescription.
Why we don’t label your weight
UnityLife is a lifestyle publication, not a medical one. We deliberately don’t tell you whether your weight is “healthy” or “unhealthy” — that judgement requires context (body composition, activity, medical history, age, pregnancy status) that no calculator can know.
When BMI doesn’t apply
BMI was never validated for children and teens, pregnant or breastfeeding people, competitive athletes with high lean mass, frail older adults, or several ethnic populations whose body-fat-to-BMI relationship differs from the cohort the WHO range was derived from. If any of those apply to you, the reference range is essentially meaningless and your clinician’s assessment should outweigh it.
