Frequently asked questions.
What is BMI?
Body Mass Index is your weight in kilograms divided by the square of your height in metres. It produces a screening category — underweight, healthy, overweight or obese.
Why does BMI matter for insurance?
Underwriters use BMI alongside medical history, lifestyle and other markers when pricing risk. A healthy BMI typically supports preferred premium outcomes.
