Body Mass Index (BMI) calculatorBody Mass Index (BMI) is an index used to estimate body fat. BMI indicates your health risks by comparing your height and weight. Males with a BMI above 27.8 and women over 27.3 are considered overweight. Males with a BMI less than 20.7 and women below 19.1 are classified as underweight. There are limitations to BMI so it's important to realize that it is
only an estimation of body fat. People who have valid reasons for maintaining
weight outside of normal ranges (pregnant or breast feeding women, competitive
athletes, body builders and people who are chronically ill) may experience
inaccurate BMI values. People with a high percentage of muscle mass may
appear overweight using BMI because muscle is more dense than fat.
