how to calculate bmi for women - #23211

Thomas

I am really confused about how to calculate bmi for women. I’ve been trying to keep track of my health since my sister got diagnosed with something serious, and the doctor mentioned BMI. So. I pulled out a calculator, but honestly, it’s all over the place. I’m 5’5” and 180 lbs, and I did the math and got a number. But then I read that BMI can be different for women? Is that true? Am I doing something wrong? Like, is there a specific formula for how to calculate bmi for women that’s different? I just wanna make sure I'm not missing anything, like should I factor in muscle or something? Thanks!
