BMI Calculator

BMI is a measure of a person's lean or fat body based on height and weight and is intended to measure tissue mass. It is widely used as a general indicator of whether a person is at a healthy weight for their height. Specifically, the value obtained from the calculation of BMI is used to categorize whether a person is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese depending on what range the value falls between. These ranges of BMI vary based on factors such as region and age and are sometimes further divided into subcategories such as severely underweight or very severely obese. Being overweight or underweight can have significant health effects, so while BMI is an imperfect measure of healthy body weight, it is a useful indicator of whether any additional testing or action is required.

The Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator can be used to calculate BMI value and corresponding weight status while considering age. Use the “Metric Units” tab for the International System of Units or the “Other Units” tab to convert units into either US or metric units. Note that the calculator also computes the Ponderal Index in addition to BMI
