What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a numerical value calculated from your weight and height. It is widely used as a screening tool to categorize individuals into different weight status categories: underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese.
How is BMI Calculated?
BMI is calculated using the formula: weight (kg) / height (m)². For imperial units, the formula is: weight (lbs) × 703 / height (in)². Our calculator handles both systems automatically.
Limitations of BMI
While BMI is a useful screening tool, it has limitations. It doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat mass. Always consult with a healthcare provider for a complete health assessment.
