How BMI is calculated

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a screening tool that estimates body fat based on height and weight.

BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height² (m²)

US units: BMI = 703 × weight (lb) ÷ height² (in²)

BMI Categories (WHO)

  • Under 18.5 — Underweight
  • 18.5–24.9 — Healthy weight
  • 25.0–29.9 — Overweight
  • 30.0+ — Obese

BMI limitations

BMI doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat, so athletes and very muscular people often register as "overweight" despite being healthy. It's a useful starting point, not a diagnosis. For a fuller picture, also check your body fat percentage and waist circumference.
