What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. It's calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared. BMI is a widely used screening tool to identify potential weight problems in adults.
While BMI doesn't directly measure body fat, research has shown that it correlates with more direct measures of body fat and provides a simple, inexpensive way to assess weight status. Our BMI calculator provides instant results with personalized health recommendations.
