What’s My BMI?
Check your Body Mass Index (BMI) to understand if your weight is in a healthy range for your height.
Understanding BMI
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple formula used worldwide to categorize adults as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese based on their height and weight.
How BMI is Calculated
BMI is calculated using the formula: BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height² (m²). Enter your height and weight in the calculator above to instantly see your BMI result and category.
Why BMI Matters
BMI is commonly used as a screening tool to assess potential weight-related health risks such as:
- Heart disease
- Type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure
However, BMI does not measure body fat directly and may not reflect overall health for athletes, pregnant women, or elderly individuals.
