What is BMI Calculator?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple screening tool that uses your weight and height to estimate body fatness. While it doesn't measure body fat directly, BMI correlates with more direct measures of body fat. The WHO classifies BMI ranges as: Underweight (< 18.5), Normal weight (18.5β24.9), Overweight (25β29.9), and Obese (β₯ 30). BMI doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or age, so it should be used alongside other health assessments.
How to Interpret Your Results
BMI Categories: Underweight = below 18.5; Normal weight = 18.5β24.9; Overweight = 25β29.9; Obese = 30 or above. Keep in mind that BMI is a screening tool and may not be accurate for athletes, pregnant women, or the elderly. Consult a healthcare provider for a comprehensive assessment.
