Body Mass Index Calculator
Body Mass Index (BMI) provides an estimate of body fatness of most people and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems. It is calculated based on height and weight. BMT does not, however, measure body fat directly. Factors such as age, gender and muscularity may impact BMI.
BMI classifications:
- <18.5 = Underweight
- 18.5-24.9 = Normal
- 25.0-29.9 = Overweight
- 30.0+ = Obese
