How it works

BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)². The World Health Organization categories for adults are: underweight below 18.5, healthy weight 18.5–24.9, overweight 25–29.9 and obesity 30 and above. BMI is a quick screening number: it doesn't distinguish muscle from fat, and it isn't meant for children, pregnant women or very muscular people. Ask a health professional for a real assessment.

FAQ

Is BMI the same for men and women?

Yes, the adult formula and categories are the same. For children and teens, doctors use age- and sex-specific percentiles instead.
