Your Body Mass Index (BMI)

What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement of body fat based on a person's height and weight, used to estimate if they are a healthy weight for their size.

A healthy adult BMI typically falls between 18.5 and 24.9, while a score of 25 to 29.9 indicates an unhealthy weight, and a BMI of 30 or higher signifies living with obesity.

Our BMI calculator adjusts the calculation for age, sex and ethnic background. However, BMI still has limitations – for example, it can be inaccurate for muscular individuals.
