Enter your weight and height above to calculate your BMI
Scenario: Sarah is 30 years old, weighs 65 kg, and is 165 cm tall. Using this BMI calculator, her BMI is 23.9 (65 ÷ (1.65)² = 23.9), which falls in the normal weight category. This helps her understand that her current weight is healthy for her height, and she can focus on maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise routine rather than weight loss.
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a simple calculation using a person's height and weight. The formula is BMI = kg/m² where kg is a person's weight in kilograms and m² is their height in meters squared.
BMI categories are: Underweight (BMI < 18.5), Normal weight (BMI 18.5-24.9), Overweight (BMI 25-29.9), and Obese (BMI ≥ 30). These ranges may vary slightly for different populations.
BMI is a useful screening tool but has limitations. It may not accurately reflect body fat in athletes (who have more muscle mass), pregnant women, the elderly, or people with certain medical conditions.
If your BMI indicates overweight or obesity, consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice. Focus on healthy eating, regular exercise, and lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes.
The same BMI ranges apply to both men and women, but body composition differs. Women typically have more body fat than men at the same BMI, while men have more muscle mass.
You can check your BMI whenever your weight or height changes significantly. For most adults, checking every few months is sufficient. Focus more on overall health habits than frequent BMI calculations.
