BMI Calculator
calculates your body mass index
The BMI calculator is an indicator of body mass for adults depending on your weight and height.The bmi calculator only is an indicator and it's absolutely not the only one concerning health risk. It certainly isn't a diagnostic tool. It only just indicates whether your overweighted or not. That's it.
In addition, the bmi calculator certainly doesn't measure body fat. Two people can have the same BMI, but a different percentage of body fat.
Whatever your results of using the bmi calculator, talk to your doctor to see if you are at an increased risk for disease and if you should lose weight. Even a small weight loss (just 10% of your current weight) may help to lower the risk of disease.
The Body Mass Index (BMI) formula was developed by Belgium statistician Adolphe Quelet (1796-1874), and was known as the Quetelet Index.
The BMI formula is weight (in kilograms) divided by height (in meters) squared.
Please note, that this BMI indicator is just that, an indicator! As such, it should be used with caution. BMI will be inaccurate for pregnant women, children and people with excess muscle mass.
With that all said, let's calculate your bmi:
