Healthy weight for your height โ
BMI is a general screening tool. It doesn't account for muscle mass, age, sex or body composition, so athletes and others may fall outside the usual ranges while being healthy. For personal health advice, consult a doctor.
How BMI works
BMI = weight (kg) รท height (m)ยฒ. WHO categories: below 18.5 underweight, 18.5โ24.9 normal, 25โ29.9 overweight, 30+ obese. It's a quick population-level screen, not a diagnosis โ it can't tell muscle from fat, so read it alongside other health measures.
