How is BMI calculated?

BMI is a straightforward calculation intended to assess whether you have a healthy body weight for a person of your height. The formula for BMI is:

BMI= = weight in kilograms​/ (Height in meters)2

For those using imperial units (feet and inches), the height must first be converted to meters (1 inch = 0.0254 meters).

Interpretation of BMI Values

• Underweight: BMI below 18.5
• Normal weight: BMI 18.5 to 24.9
• Overweight: BMI 25 to 29.9
• Obese: BMI 30 and above

These ranges are generally accepted for adults over 18 years old. For children and teenagers, BMI age- and gender-specific percentiles are used.

Tips for Using BMI Calculator

• Ensure that all input values are correct and in the specified units.
• Consult a healthcare provider for a comprehensive health assessment, as BMI does not consider muscle mass, bone density, overall body composition, and racial and ethnic differences.
