Enter your weight in kilograms and height in centimeters. The tool instantly shows your BMI value and corresponding health category based on WHO standards. BMI is a screening tool—not a diagnostic measure. Athletes with high muscle mass may have higher BMI despite low body fat.
FAQ
What does BMI stand for? ▼
BMI = Body Mass Index. It's a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adults.
What's a healthy BMI range? ▼
18.5–24.9 is considered healthy. For South Asians, 18.5–22.9 is sometimes recommended due to metabolic differences.
Why is BMI important? ▼
BMI screens for weight-related health risks like diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. It's not 100% accurate for athletes or elderly.
Can BMI be misleading? ▼
Yes. Muscle weighs more than fat, so athletes may have high BMI despite low body fat. Use it as a screening tool, not diagnosis.
How to improve my BMI? ▼
Combine regular exercise (150 min/week) with balanced diet. Aim for gradual weight loss (0.5–1 kg/week) for sustainability.
