BMI Calculator
Understanding Your BMI Result
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure that uses your height and weight to work out if your weight is healthy.
- Underweight: BMI is less than 18.5
- Normal weight: BMI is 18.5 to 24.9
- Overweight: BMI is 25 to 29.9
- Obesity: BMI is 30 or greater
Please note that BMI is a useful measurement for most people over 18 years old. However, it is only an estimate and it does not take into account age, ethnicity, gender, and body composition. For example, muscular adults and athletes may have a high BMI but not have excess body fat.
