BMI Calculator

BMI stands for Body Mass Index, a universally recognized tool used to determine the degree of overweight or obesity. BMI may not be a suitable measure of health risk for very muscular individuals.

BMI is a number calculated from a person’s weight and height. BMI is a fairly reliable indicator of body fatness for most people. BMI does not measure body fat directly, but research has shown that BMI correlates to direct measures of body fat.

How is BMI used?
It is used as a screening tool to identify possible weight problems for adults, but is not a diagnostic tool. To determine if excess weight is a health risk, your doctor would need to perform further assessments: diet evaluation, physical activity levels, family history, and other appropriate health screenings.
