Body Mass Index (BMI)
BMI Calculator – Are You Overweight?
Do you really need to lose weight? The BMI Calculator below will figure out your body mass index category (underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese), also indicating your risk for developing obesity-associated diseases.
BMI Calculation
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a way to look at your body weight relative to your height. This BMI calculator is based on the standard BMI measurement, and it works for adults, both men and women above age 19. It is a good indicator of the amount of body fat you have, which is directly related to the risk of various diseases and early death. The official formula, which is used in this BMI calculator is [weight(kg) / height(m) x height(m)].
One limitation is that it doesn’t distinguish fat from muscle (which weighs more than fat). However, that really only matters for body builders, athletes and other people, who have developed a lot of lean body mass. The BMI system was designed around an average person, and most people don’t exercise regularly and need to lose some weight!
