Calculate your Body Mass Index based on your height and weight.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple measurement that uses your height and weight to estimate whether you have a healthy body weight. It is commonly used as a general indicator of body fat and potential health risks.
BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters.
Formula: BMI = weight (kg) / height² (m²)
This calculator uses metric units (kilograms and centimeters), which are commonly used worldwide for accurate BMI calculation.
This BMI calculator works for both men and women. However, body composition may differ, so BMI should be used as a general guideline rather than a precise measurement.
BMI helps identify potential health risks related to body weight, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, and other conditions. It provides a quick way to assess whether your weight falls within a healthy range.
BMI does not directly measure body fat and may not be accurate for athletes, bodybuilders, or individuals with high muscle mass. It should be used alongside other health indicators.
BMI is a useful general indicator but may not be accurate for everyone.
A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy for most adults.
For children and teenagers, BMI should be interpreted using age and sex-specific charts.
