Calculate your BMI

taobian2 — 2025-02-25 23:54:39 UTC

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation using a person’s height and weight.

The formula is BMI = kg ➗m2

where kg is a person’s mass in kilograms and m2 is their height in metres squared.

A BMI of 25.0 or more is overweight, while the healthy range is 18.5 to 24.9. BMI applies to most adults 18-65 years*.
