BMI Calculator
What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is the numerical relation between a person’s weight and height.
How is BMI calculated?
BMI is calculated by dividing a person’s current body weight by the square of their current height (in kg/m2). It can also be determined using a BMI chart or BMI calculator.
Why would I want to know my BMI?
BMI is used in the medical community as a reference for healthy body weight, so you might want to know your BMI for health reasons. Also, if you are considering undergoing a bariatric procedure, it is important to know if your current BMI enables you to do so, as bariatric surgery is generally recommended only to people suffering from morbid obesity or Class II Obesity.
