What is this tool?
Calculates Body Mass Index (BMI) from your height and weight -- one general, widely-used (though imperfect) health screening measure. Accepts either metric (kg/cm) or imperial (lb/ft+in) units. For daily calorie needs specifically, use the separate Calorie Calculator tool.
How to use it
Choose your preferred units, enter your height and weight, and your BMI and category are calculated automatically.
BMI doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat, so it can be misleading for very muscular individuals or older adults with reduced muscle mass — it's a useful general screening number, not a complete picture of health on its own.
