Are there any differences between male and female BMI?

Allcalculator.net's The differences in BMI between men and women are beyond body composition. First, note the differences in body type between men and women and within those groups. If you look at women, their body shapes change even among people with the same body fat and muscle proportions. Women’s legs tend to differ more from one female to another than they do for men. 

BMI ranges for women are the same as for men because those are made in a purely theoretical way. The spread of BMI values in women is greater than that of men. Towards an educated view of body weight, health is more important than looks and unattainable beauty standards.

Allcalculator.net's This BMI calculator can tell how much weight you carry but not how much fat you carry. It does not tell the difference between excess fat, muscle or bone. The adult BMI does not consider age, gender or muscle mass. Pregnancy will also affect a woman’s BMI result. Your BMI goes up if your weight increases. You should use pre-pregnancy weight when calculating your BMI. BMI is one of the straightforward convenient ways to assess someone's weight.
