Body mass index (BMI) is a common tool for deciding whether a person has an appropriate body weight.
It measures a person’s weight in relation to their height. Maintaining an appropriate body weight is important for protection against obesity-related illnesses and disabilities such as: obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular problems just to name a few.
We've put together a valuable BMI Calculator to help you understand the following:
*Quick Calculator Tip*
If using Imperial, enter your height as a decimal. This will require you to first divide the inches in your height by 12. So If I was 5' 3", I'd divide 3/12 = .25. So what I'd enter into the calculator would be 5.25 for my height. That's weird, I know. We're hoping to update it soon to just ask for inches.
Your BMI is......
| BMI | Classification |
|---|---|
| less than 18.5: | Underweight |
| 18.5 - 24.9: | Normal weight |
| 25 - 29.9: | Overweight |
| 30 - 34.9: | Class I Obese |
| 35 - 39.9: | Class II Obese |
| 40 upwards: | Class III Obese |
Since there are only 2 factors in the calculation of BMI, and one of those factors (height) can't really be adjusted, the only thing you can do to improve your BMI is to decrease your weight.
