Calculate Your BMI
What is BMI?
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a simple calculation used to assess whether a person has a healthy body weight for a given height. It's calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in meters squared (kg/m²).
BMI Formula
weight = Your body weight in kilograms
height = Your height in meters (cm ÷ 100)
BMI Categories
| Category | BMI Range | Health Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Underweight | < 18.5 | Moderate |
| Normal Weight | 18.5 – 24.9 | Low |
| Overweight | 25 – 29.9 | Moderate |
| Obese | ≥ 30 | High |
BMI is a useful screening tool but doesn't diagnose body fatness or health. Muscle mass, bone density, and other factors can affect BMI. Consult a healthcare professional for a complete health assessment!
Why It Matters
