BMI Calculator

Track your bmi results

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. It is an easy and convenient way to determine whether you are at a healthy weight for your height. A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered normal, while a BMI of 25 or higher is considered overweight. A BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese.

Using our BMI calculator, you can easily determine your BMI by entering your height and weight. The calculator will automatically calculate your BMI and give you an idea of whether you are at a healthy weight for your height. It is important to remember that BMI is only one factor to consider when determining your overall health, and it is not a diagnostic tool. Other factors such as age, muscle mass, and overall health should also be taken into account.

Understanding your BMI result

It’s important to understand your BMI and how you can take steps to improve your health. Knowing your BMI can help you determine if your weight is in a healthy range and provide guidance on how to make positive changes to your lifestyle and habits.

Underweight

If you’re underweight it may indicate that you are not consuming enough food or that you have an underlying health condition. Seeking the assistance of a GP can be helpful.

Healthy weight

Congratulations on your efforts to maintain a healthy weight!

Overweight

The most effective method to lose weight is typically a combination of healthy eating and regular physical activity.

Obese

A combination of diet and exercise is typically the most effective approach to lose weight. It is important to seek the guidance and advice of a GP in order to determine the best course of action for your individual needs and circumstances.

Limitations of the BMI

While the BMI has some advantages, it also has several limitations that should be considered when interpreting and using the results.

One limitation of the BMI is that it does not take into account differences in muscle mass, bone density, and distribution of fat. For example, a person with a high muscle mass may have a higher BMI, but they may not be at an increased risk for health problems associated with excess weight. Similarly, a person with a low muscle mass may have a lower BMI, but they may still be at risk for health problems due to excess fat. This means that the BMI can be misleading in individuals with a high or low muscle mass and may not accurately reflect their true health status.

Another limitation of the BMI is that it does not account for age or gender. The normal range for BMI varies by age and gender, with a higher BMI considered normal for men compared to women. This means that the BMI may not be an accurate indicator of health risk in all individuals, especially those who are older or who do not fit into the standard age and gender categories.

In addition, the BMI does not account for changes in weight that may occur due to pregnancy, lactation, or other factors. This can make it difficult to accurately assess an individual’s health status over time, especially if they experience significant changes in weight.

Finally, the BMI is not a diagnostic tool and should not be used as the sole basis for making decisions about an individual’s health. Other factors, such as family history, medical history, and lifestyle habits, should also be taken into consideration when assessing an individual’s health risk.
