What Is Your Body Mass Index?

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple way for healthcare professionals to quickly assess whether or not you're at a healthy weight by comparing your body weight to your height. Enter your body weight and height to calculate your BMI.

How accurate is this?

BMI is a great way to quickly assess whether or not you're at a healthy weight. However, BMI tends to place very muscular individuals in higher classifications than are appropriate and place non-muscular individuals at lower classifications than are appropriate. The best and most accurate way of assessing your weight status is to have your body fat percentage tested by a healthcare professional.
