Calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) to assess your weight status and understand potential health risks associated with your current weight.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a screening tool that uses your height and weight to estimate body fat and assess potential health risks associated with your weight status. BMI is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in meters squared (kg/m²).
BMI doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat mass, so it may be less accurate for athletes, elderly individuals, or those with high muscle mass. It also doesn't account for fat distribution, which affects health risks. Consider BMI as one of several health assessment tools.
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement that uses your height and weight to determine if you're in a healthy weight range. It's calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in meters squared (kg/m²).
BMI categories are: Underweight (below 18.5), Normal weight (18.5-24.9), Overweight (25-29.9), and Obese (30 and above). These ranges help assess potential health risks associated with weight status.
BMI doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat mass, so it may be less accurate for athletes or very muscular individuals. Those with high muscle mass may have elevated BMI despite healthy body composition.
BMI is better for general health screening than fitness tracking. For fitness progress, consider body composition measurements, strength gains, endurance improvements, and how clothes fit rather than BMI alone.
