Body Mass
Index
One of the best ways to determine your risk for health problems associated with weight is to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI).

Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is an important factor in determining your health risk. It is a method of relating your height to your weight, that provides an estimate of the degree to which you may be over- or underweight.

Accuracy Tip

  • Do not wear shoes when measuring your height and weight.
Our calculators use standard methods used by physicians, nutritionists, dietitians, exercise physiologists, and personal trainers. While they are generally appropriate for the average person, there are often factors that are unique to some individuals that may affect your readings (including illnesses such as lung, liver, and kidney diseases, hepatitis, HIV and AIDS) and should be evaluated only by a trained medical professional.
