What is BMI?

BMI stands for Body Mass Index, and it’s a simple way to measure whether your weight is healthy for your height. Think of it as a general health indicator.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Measuring Up: Measure both your weight and height and place the numbers below. Make sure to use the Adult BMI calculator if you are over 18, otherwise use the Child calculator.
  2. What do they mean?: After you calculate your BMI, you’ll get a number. This number falls into different categories:
    • Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
    • Normal weight: BMI 18.5 – 24.9
    • Overweight: BMI 25 – 29.9
    • Obese: BMI 30 and above
  3. Why It Matters: BMI gives you a quick snapshot of your body fat and helps determine if you’re at a healthy weight. It’s a useful tool because being underweight, overweight, or obese can lead to health issues like heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions.
